Twitterati calls “RR vs RCB match fixed” as a series of incident happens in the 10th over

RR vs RCB: Today’s match of IPL 2022 is being played between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Banglore. Both teams are performing really well in the match and it’s difficult to say who is going to win this game. However, a series of events that happened in the 10th over of the match forced Twitter users to call the ‘RR vs RCB match fixed’.

Devdutt Padikkal was on the strike at the last ball of Harshal Patel’s over. Harshal bowled a slower bouncer as the last ball of the over but umpires announced it as wide. However, the bowl was totally good and the commentators also addressed that the decision was bad umpiring. However, this was not the end of the drama as Harshal Patel took the wicket of Padikkal on the next ball. Padikkal tried to score a boundary on this ball and Virat Kohli took the catch.

Padikkal went out of the ground and Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson arrived as the new batsman. But, suddenly the third umpire came to the field and tried to bring Padikkal inside the field again. Then they started checking the catch taken by Virat Kohli that was taken purely in the air. However, the third umpire, in the end, declared Padikkal out, and the match continued. But, Twitter users couldn’t stop themselves from criticizing poor umpiring and called RR vs RCB match fixed.

That was more difficult for 3rd umpire who is still thinking they are in same team RCB so how is it possible? ??
