In IPL 2025, the investigation of the bat has become a topic of discussion. For some time, players have to undergo a gose test on the field. Under this, the reserve umpire is checking the batsmen's bats size on the ground. So far, the bat of two players has been found illegal. At the same time, during the match of Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma's bat was also questioned. His bat was not passing through the gaose near the umpire. Then Rohit did something that the umpire immediately had to get out of there.
Mumbai had a chance to bat first against Delhi.
Rohit Sharma was descending for the opening with his partner Ryan Ricelton that the reserve umpire stopped him. Then his bat was investigated through a gaz. During this time, his bat got stuck in the goose. According to the umpire, Rohit's bat was thicker than the fixed rule. So he refused to play with that bat. Rohit Sharma got angry at this and immediately removed the gloves. Rohit again asked to check the battle measurement of the bat and showed the bat out from the gaz. As soon as the umpire saw that everything is fine. They were making a mistake in the measurement, they left fast.View this post on Instagram
In the match between Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders on April 15, two players failed in the Gose Test. The bat of KKR player Sunil Naren and Enrique Northern was found to be illegal. The width of their bats was not according to the rules. This was the first case this season, when a player's bat was declared illegal. After this, both of them had to change their bat.
Earlier the bat was examined inside the dressing room, but in the last few matches it was seen that the investigation was done on the ground itself. Talk about the rules, the width of the front part of the bat should not be more than 10.79 cm, while the thickness of its blade should not be more than 6.7 cm. Apart from this, the width of the edge of the bat should not be 4 cm and the length should not exceed 96.4 cm.
