Finn Allen Out or Not Out: The cricket world had not yet recovered from David Miller’s wrong decision of not taking a single run. Then a new uproar has arisen in the Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants match. In this match, KKR’s explosive opener Finn Allen was out after scoring 9 runs. Digvesh Rathi standing at the boundary took his catch (Digvesh Rathi Catch Legal or Not). There is an uproar over this catch of Rathi.

Actually this matter is of the second over of KKR’s innings. Fast bowler Prince Yadav was bowling and on the fourth ball of the over, Finn Allen hit an aerial shot in the direction of third-man. But Digvesh Rathi standing near the boundary caught him.

Why did the controversy arise?

A debate has erupted on social media regarding the catch of Digvesh Rathi. It is being claimed that while taking the catch, Rathi’s left foot had touched the boundary. In fact, at the time when Rathi took the catch, the camera angle was shown from where it was impossible to see whether Rathi’s catch was clean or not.

The fans have scolded the umpires badly. Controversy has also arisen over the fact that the ground umpires did not consider it appropriate to recheck the catch, fans are expressing their displeasure regarding this. Fans say that when technology is available, the help of a third umpire should have been taken to determine whether the catch was legal or not.

Finn Allen’s catch was taken by Digvesh Rathi, whose foot was touching the boundary.

So why didn’t the third umpire check it?

That was clearly not out. If they can’t judge a simple catch properly, then what’s the point of calling this a big fair league? And why have so… pic.twitter.com/8XWSMZLnM9
