Following a victory against the Sunrisers Hyderabad, the Gujarat Titans found themselves batting first as the Punjab Kings won the toss.
Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill struggled to find their rhythm against the new ball, particularly when facing Arshdeep Singh’s deliveries.
On the first delivery of the second over, Arshdeep bowled a well-directed delivery that swung into Saha, narrowly missing the inside edge and striking his back pad.
Umpire Kulkarni promptly raised his finger, but Saha chose to review the decision. Upon review, it became apparent that the ball would miss the stumps due to its height, thus overturning the decision.

The Twitter community expressed dissatisfaction with the umpire’s initial call, particularly given its timing early in the match.
