There has been a big uproar in the Ranji match of Mumbai. People have openly accused umpire S Ravi of dishonesty. If the umpire is accused of dishonesty, the matter becomes very serious. The question is, what happened in the match between Mumbai and Jammu and Kashmir? Actually this controversy is related to giving not out to Shreyas Iyer. The interesting thing is that there was an uproar not only when Iyer was given not out but also when he was given out. Let us tell you what happened on the second day of this Ranji Trophy match?
In the match being played between Mumbai and Jammu and Kashmir, a situation of controversy arose when Mumbai was batting. The umpire did not give Mumbai batsman Shreyas Iyer out after being clearly out. It can be clearly seen in a video that the ball took the outer edge of Shreyas Iyer's bat and went into the hands of the wicketkeeper.

The sound of the bat coming in contact with the ball was also clearly heard. After this the players of Jammu and Kashmir started celebrating Iyer's wicket. But the umpire did not give him out. At that time Iyer was batting on eight runs and was saved due to the bad decision of the umpire.
Look at the sheryas he is expecting from an umpire to give him another chance after giving him one early on in his innings how low can he stoop now #Ranjitropy pic.twitter.com/qYS655DTh5

After some time, the umpire was again under question regarding his decision. When Iyer was batting on 17 runs, the ball once again took the outside edge of the bat and went to wicketkeeper Kanhaiya Wadhawan. The umpire gave Shreyas out. But despite this Iyer did not leave the field. There was a heated argument between the umpire and Iyer. Ajinkya Rahane, who was on non-strike, was also angry with this decision. Due to these decisions, umpire Ravi is now facing a lot of criticism on social media.
Such a big edge from Shreyas Iyer and the umpire denies it! Ridiculous. That's how umpires work in domestic cricket. Quite a few decisions have gone against J&K since yesterday, which is not done at all. #RanjiTrophy #MUMvsJK

One user wrote on X, 'Shreyas Iyer's bat hit such a big edge but the umpire did not agree. Very ridiculous. Similar umpiring happens in domestic cricket. From yesterday till now many decisions have gone against Jammu and Kashmir. This is not right. One user wrote, 'Umpires are giving their best to save Mumbai'. One user wrote, 'S Ravi has probably given a game changing decision against Jammu and Kashmir. This nick of Shreyas Iyer was seen by the whole world except S. Ravi standing at 23 yards. such a fuss.'
Umpires trying their best to save Mumbai…

That Shreyas Iyer edge was blatant robbery in day light. Like if S Ravi cant hear that edge, he should stop umpiring.
Things are very shady here. https://t.co/k3xvxGUAe5

One user wrote, 'Really, he is a terrible umpire now. 'A huge decline from a good ICC panel umpire'. Another user commented, 'The Edge with Shreyas Iyer was a robbery in broad daylight. If S Ravi cannot hear this edge then he should leave umpiring.
