Mohammad Kaif raised questions on this action of Cummins

IPL 2024 A big fight was seen on Friday. On Friday, Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad were face to face. Chennai once again had to face defeat in the match. This was Chennai’s second defeat of IPL 2024. Earlier, Chennai had to face defeat at the hands of Delhi. Let us tell you, in the match played against Hyderabad, the appeal of ‘obstructing the field’ against Chennai Super Kings batsman Ravindra Jadeja was withdrawn. Actually, what happened was that in the last over of CSK’s innings, Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s yorker ball. But Jadeja played a shot towards Bhuvneshwar and he came out of the crease to a great extent. Bhuvneshwar tried to catch the ball and throw it towards the wicket, but Jadeja came in between. The umpires discussed and referred the decision to the third umpire, but Pat Cummins withdrew the appeal in the meantime, due to which Jadeja was declared not out. In such a situation, Kaif has now raised questions that if this happens to Kohli during the World T20, will he withdraw the appeal?
