The ongoing twelveth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been hit with a new umpiring howler⛄ as Kings XI Punjab skippe✨r Ravichandran Ashwin bowled a seven-ball first over against Mumbai Indians at the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali on Saturday.
After winning the toss and electing to bowl first in Match 9 of the IPL 2019, Ashwin deci👍ded to bowl the very first over; he bowled seven deliveries to MI openers Rohit Sharma and Q🌟uinton de Kock.
The umpire somehow missed the fact that Ashwin had already bowled six legitimate deliveries before he was ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚsmashed for a boundary 🅺by De Kock off the seventh ball.
This is how the first over from Ashwin went:
- 1st ball: Ashwin bowls a dot delivery to Rohit.
- 2nd ball: Rohit picks up a single to give De Kock the strike.
- 3rd ball: De Kock defends a straight delivery from Ashwin.
- 4th ball: De Kock hits the ball towards long off for a single.
- 5th ball: Ashwin bowls a dot delivery to Rohit.
- 6th ball: Rohit punches the ball towards covers for a single.
- 7th ball: De Kock hits the ball fine for the first four of the MI innings towards the third man.
