Indian Premier League - General Discussion

I didn't understand what just happened. He ran but went for the mankad, missed it, and then threw the ball he never bowled for a runout only to be rejected? What the hell?

I think the umpire's interpretation was that Harshal had gone too far for it still to be considered a run out.

That is what I was thinking too. I was confused why these bizarre series of events even took place

RCB's stupidity edged slightly ahead of LSG's stupidity and that made the difference in the end!

That was an absolute terrible tactic from Harshal! You are bowling to the No. 11 batsman with one run to win off 1 ball, and you are thinking of the 'Mankad'? And that too being a specialist death bowler? That mode of dismissal is totally valid and correct, but Bishnoi was perfectly inside the crease till Harshal's point of delivery. Harshal made an absolute FOOL out of himself and RCB.

After all Virat was not so bad of a captain for RCB.

RCB the team is supposed to the Royal Chokers and time & again they are doing it.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Lord Avesh with the helmet throw in the end as if he the winning six.

Man didn't even get the bat on the ball for the last delivery.

The Whole run up he was thinking about Mankad yet he failed.

I am still laughing at this.

Yes bro. Perfectly inside.

I saw it live. Harshal was beyond the point where he could legally effect the "runout at non-striker end" (previously called the Mankad). That is why the umpire ruled it a dead ball and didnt even go upstairs for the run out that Harshal attempted after missing the initial attempt. He loaded, then backtracked and then attempted the Mankad. Thats why the above photo grab shows Bishnoi short.

Yeah and that is exactly the reason why he failed and that extra second or pause was due to Bishnoi being inside the increase all the time forcing Harshal Patel to take a back step a little and hence missing it altogether.

I think you'll find Bishnoi was outside before Harshal reached the stumps, he just had to backtrack because his momentum was pushing him forward.

The main problem of RCB bowling attack is, if someone start hitting sixes, they can't able to stop them... Same thing happened against KKR and same thing repeat last night...
