“Umpires responsible for Rajasthan Royals’ defeat against Delhi Capitals” - Zaheer Khan

Former Indian cricketer Zaheer Khan has voiced his criticism of the umpiring standards in the Indian Premier League 2024 following a controversial decision during the match between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals. Khan expressed his frustration

“This decision changed the momentum of the game in Delhi’s favour. The TV umpire should have taken time before making a call. It looked like the foot of the fielder had touched the boundary rope. It was a close call and the official should have checked it from different angles,” Zaheer Khan said.

Suresh Raina also joined the conversation “He didn’t use different angles to come to a conclusion. Such calls need time but the TV umpire didn’t follow the right procedure,” Suresh Raina said.

Rajasthan Royals fell 20 runs short of the target while chasing 222 runs. They are currently sitting at the second position of the points table with 8 wins from 11 matches
