On Sunday, Kings XI Punjab lost to Delhi Capitals in the second match of the new IPL season. Actress and co-owner of Kings XI Punjab, Preity Zinta lashed out at the wrong decision by the umpire who called the short run in the 19th over. Preity also urged the BCCI to look into the matter and to tweak the rules accordingly.
The short run was a wrong decision as was noted in the replay. Despite the technology that was available, it was not put to use to make an accurate judgement. The one run cost the Punjab team heavily as it led to the game being tied and later the loss to Delhi Capitals in the super over.
“I travelled enthusiastically during a pandemic,did 6 days of Quarantine & 5covid tests with a smile but that one Short Run hit me hard. What’s the point of technology if it cannot be used? It’s time @BCCI introduces new rules.This cannot happen,” Zinta wrote on Twitter.
