Bengaluru: In IPL 2025, questions are constantly being raised on the umpire's decision. Some questions are correct, while some fans raise them just to troll on social media. But in the match between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore, the umpire gave such a decision which is being fiercely disputed. First Dewald Brevis was wrongly given out by the umpire. After this, when he demanded DRS, it was refused.
Timer not shown on screen
Lungi Ngidi was bowling the 17th over for Royal Challengers Bangalore. He dismissed Ayush Mhatre on the second ball. After this Dewald Brevis came to bat. The third ball was a full toss and it hit Brevis' pad directly. There was a strong appeal and umpire Nitin Menon raised his finger. By then Brevis had run for the run. He then went and talked to Jadeja and signaled for DRS.
There was no 15-second DRS timer shown on screen, and when Brevis wanted to review it, the umpires said, 'No, you have to leave.'
Nice fixing.
Well done, Umpire Challengers Bengaluru.pic.twitter.com/maHPjcVQQo

When Dewald Brevis asked for DRS, umpire Nitin Menon refused. He told the batsman that the 15-second time to take DRS is over. But the biggest thing was that a timer comes on the screen. This shows how much time is left to take DRS.
Dewald Brevis was not even out
What happened after this was even more shocking. When the ball was tracked, the ball was way outside the leg stump. Even if there were two more wickets after the leg stump, the ball would not have hit them. Brevis was out on the first ball without opening his account. Chennai had to face defeat by two runs in this match. Batting first, RCB had scored 213 runs. RCB had scored 54 runs in the last two overs. Chennai Super Kings could only score 211 runs for 5 wickets. Ayush Mhatre scored an innings of 94 runs.
