Harbhajan Singh Angry On Shubman Gill: The use of DRS for wide and no balls started from the 2023 season of the Indian Premier League. Under this rule, players of both the teams can challenge the umpire’s decision of wide and no ball. During IPL 2026, former Team India spinner Harbhajan Singh got angry at this rule, when in the 60th match of the season, Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill took 2 consecutive DRS against Kolkata Knight Riders.
During the commentary, Harbhajan Singh said that having DRS for wide and no balls like this is a waste of time. The incident of taking DRS continuously happened in the sixth over, when Kagiso Rabada was bowling.
Gill took review for LBW on the second ball of the over. The decision was taken on umpire call. This did not spoil Gujarat’s review and Kolkata’s Angkrish Raghuvanshi was not even given out.
Harbhajan Singh angry over second consecutive DRS
The third ball of the over fell outside the off stump, which was declared wide by the umpire. Rabada did not look happy with the decision of this wide and Shubman Gill took the second DRS in a row, on which Harbhajan got angry.
Talking about the second consecutive review of Gujarat, Bhajji said that it is a waste of time. Whether it is protocol to check ultra edge on wide review or not, but it is definitely a waste of time.
Bhajji further said how due to this the timing of the match increases. He told that due to these reasons the match takes 4:30 hours, whereas earlier the match used to end early.
Now it will be interesting to see whether some action is taken by IPL on this statement of Harbhajan or not. Let us tell you that till now there has been no such rule in international cricket by which batsmen can challenge the decision of wide or no ball.
