Despite winning consecutive matches following a series of losses at the start of IPL 2024, MI suffered a setback with a recent loss to the Chennai Super Kings, leaving them with just four points from six matches.
Nevertheless, they aimed to regain momentum in their upcoming match against the Punjab Kings in Mullanpur. However, the spotlight shifted unexpectedly during the toss as a zoom-in effect captured everyone’s attention before the game commenced.
As captains Hardik Pandya and Sam Curran (acting as stand-in) made their way to the center for the toss, the IPL production team employed a zoom-in effect, presumably to assure viewers that the toss proceedings were conducted without error by the officials and broadcasters.
This came in the wake of speculation during MI’s previous match against RCB, where there were rumors of the match referee, Javagal Srinath, intervening in the toss decision, leading MI to win.
