KL Rahul had an opportunity to redeem himself after two unsuccessful matches in the IPL 2023 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 10.
Despite being on a challenging track where bowlers received more assistance from the pitch than the batsmen, the 30-year-old appeared to be in good form while chasing a below-average 122.
However, Adil Rashid dismissed him in the 15th over, requiring only eight more runs for the Super Giants to win, as he attempted a reverse sweep but failed to make contact with the leg break pitched on a good length around the middle-stump line.
The umpire took little time to rule him out after the bowler and the keeper’s appeal. Rahul’s body language did not appear confident, and he knew he was out, but he decided to challenge the decision after a while, which drew a lot of attention.
However, the ball tracker showed that the ball would hit between the off and middle stump, and he had to return to the pavilion. Netizens were surprised by his DRS call, which they believed was a pointless gesture.
