Maharashtra team suffered a blow in Ranji Trophy when its experienced batsman Ankit Bawne was suspended just before the match. Maharashtra team was to face Baroda and before the match, Bawne was told that he would not be able to play the match. Let us now tell you why this happened? Actually Ankit Bawne was punished for questioning the umpire's decision. Ankit Bawne had refused to accept the umpire's decision despite giving him out in the Ranji Trophy match in October last year. He remained standing on the field and this player has now been punished.

Ankit Bavane had made this mistake

Ankit Bawne had come to play against Services in the fifth round match of Ranji Trophy. There he was given out under a controversial decision. Actually, Bawne was caught in the slip by Shubham Rohila. According to Bawne, the ball first hit the ground and after that Shubham took the catch, but the umpire gave this player out. Bawne became very angry and refused to leave the field. Bawne is the captain of Maharashtra and when he refused to come off the field, Maharashtra coach Sulakshan Kulkarni and match referee Amit Sharma had to come on the field and resolve the matter. Due to Bawne, the match was stopped for full 15 minutes, for which he has now been punished.
