The contentious LBW decision which ended Rohit Sharma’s innings during match 54 of the IPL 2023 between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore, is being hotly debated in the cricketing fraternity. The MI captain was adjudged out lbw in the fifth over of the second innings after the on-field decision was overturned as RCB opted for a review.
Following the controversy, the official broadcaster of IPL 2023, Star Sports has issued a clarification that the impact was 2.9 metres ahead of the stumps and not 3 metres.
