In a surprising move, Mumbai Indians captain Harmanpreet Kaur took a wide review against Gujarat Giants in the Women\u2019s Premier League (WPL) 2023 opener on Saturday (March 4).<\/p>\n

The incident took place during the 13th over of the Giants\u2019 innings off Saika Ishaque\u2019s bowling. Wicketkeeper Yastika Bhatia looked certain that the ball hit the batter Monica Patel, who surprisingly admitted that she hit the ball. Replays confirmed that the ball indeed touched the glove, and the decision was reversed.<\/p>\n

As per the WPL playing conditions document:<\/p>\n

“Circumstances in which a player review may be requested 3.1.1 A player may request a review of any decision taken by the on-field umpires concerning whether or not a batter is dismissed, with the exception of \u2018Timed Out\u2019 (Player Review). A player may also be allowed to review any decision taken by on-field umpires concerning wide or no ball.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fans hailed Harmanpreet Kaur\u2019s captaincy, while some were surprised with the new rule in WPL 2023. One tweeted:<\/p>\n

“A team review for a Wide! Has that ever happened before? Great captaincy”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here are some of the best Twitter reactions<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Did Mumbai Indians just take a review against the wide decision? How can they take a review against a wide call?
