harmanpreet kaur wide drs, no more chikchik for wide and no-ball, Harmanpreet Kaur’s DRS surprised the world – harmanpreet kaur drs on wide call mumbai indians gujarat

Navi Mumbai: In cricket, it is common to take DRS to challenge the decision of out or not out. When the on-field umpire gives out to a batsman but he feels that he is not out, then he can use DRS i.e. Decision Review System (DRS). This also happens when the bowler thinks the batsman is out and the umpire has not given out. But in the Women’s Premier League, DRS was taken for a different reason.

DRS against wide

Mumbai Indians team took DRS against Gujarat Giants against wide. Mumbai captain Harmanpreet Kaur challenged the wide call on the last ball of the 13th over of Gujarat’s innings. Saika Ishaq’s ball hit the gloves of Monika Patel, who was batting. But the on-field umpire called it wide. Harmanpreet Kaur decided to take DRS against it, leaving the spectators stunned. The third umpire overturned the on-field umpire’s decision after watching the replays.

Harsha Bhogle later clarified on commentary, teams have the flexibility to take DRS even against no-balls and wides in WPL. Each team will have two DRS. Any team can take two wrong DRS. But if the decision goes in his favor then he can take any number of DRS. As soon as two decisions go against him, he will not be able to take DRS. Those can be used for ‘out’ or ‘not out’ calls as well as for wides and no-balls. Mel Jones, commentating with Bhogle, said that I have not seen anything like this before.

Mumbai got an easy win

Mumbai Indians won this match by a huge margin of 143 runs. Batting first, Harmanpreet Kaur’s team scored 207 runs for 5 wickets. A stormy inning of 65 runs came out of the captain’s bat. In response, the team of Gujarat Giants could score only 64 runs. Four batsmen of the team could not even open their account.
