In the 20th match of IPL 2025, RCB batsmen beat up the bowlers of Mumbai Indians. RCB, batting first, scored 221 runs in 20 overs. Virat Kohli and captain Rajat Patidar got a brilliant half -century. However, in this match, there was a lot of injustice with RCB. One run was taken away from RCB and the reason for this was the ICC rule on which many cricket experts have raised questions. Let us tell you why a run was taken away from RCB?
This injustice with RCB was on the last ball of his innings. Bumrah was throwing these overs and a LBW appeal was made against wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma on his last ball. The umpire gave Jitesh out. Jitesh took DRS and he was found not out. But Jitesh did not benefit this because he did not get a run of Leg Bai. Actually, the ICC rule is that with the decision of the umpire, the ball becomes dead and then the batting team cannot get any run. But this rule is disputed and Akash Chopra also raised questions on it.
This Silly Cricket Error has been ignored by @Icc , @Bcci For years!
2 runs needed off the last ball. Ball Hits Pad, Batter Runs 1.
But umpires give him lbw, but drs overturns it.
That 1 run? Not counted.
Chasing team loses the match. Ridiculous! pic.twitter.com/npw8qvup20

A strong feel that this rule needs to be changed.
The last ball of jitesh sharma
Umpire: Your are out! (LBW)
Batter: Runs a single and reviews it.
DRS: You are not out!
Scoreboard: Still 0 Runs.
DRS Saves them but the Run Isn�t Counted? What if it is last ball 1 to win?#BCCI- Bala Subramanian (@Bala_888) April 7, 2025
Negotiations have been being held against this ICC rule for many years. After injustice to RCB, the fans once again demanded to change it. The fans say that if there were two runs on the last ball and the batsman would run one run with the leg by run. But if the umpire would give out and if the batsman was not out in DRS, then the ball would have been dead and the team would not get runs and he would have lost the match.
