The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 has yet another controversial decision related to David Warner’s dismissal on Friday, during the elimination match of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) after winning the toss decided to field first. The franchise bowled fantastically to restrict the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) batting to a 131/7.
Mohammed Siraj’s bowling in the sixth over troubled David Warner as he was found to be dismissed for a caught behind. Although the opening decision was not out but, the third umpire upon RCB’S review decided that there was enough contact with David Warner’s glove and decided it was an out.
WATCH – VK gets the DRS right
Big wicket at stake, close call, @imVkohli opts for the DRS in the nick of time and the third umpire rules Warner out. Superb review from the RCB captain.

Incredible decision from the 3rd umpire. David Warner every reason to blow up. Original decision not out and never conclusive evidence to overturn
