Former India batsman Virender Sehwag has lashed out at the umpire following his ‘short run’ decision during the game between Kings XI Punjab and Delhi Capitals.
Brief Scores: Delhi Capitals 157/8 (Marcus Stoinis 53, Shreyas Iyer 39; Mohammad Shami 3/15) tied Kings XI Punjab 157/8 (Mayank Agarwal 89, KL Rahul 21; Kagiso Rabada 2/28)
In Super Over:
Delhi Capitals 3/0 beat Kings XI Punjab 2/2
Delhi Capitals made a stunning comeback to beat Kings XI Punjab in the super over to start their IPL 2020 campaign on a winning note.
It was a bizarre incident from the umpire as the replays showed Jordan’s bat had crossed the line. That one run did make a difference in the end as the match ended in a tie. And as soon as KXIP lost the game, Virender Sehwag took to Twitter to slam the umpire.

I don’t agree with the man of the match choice . The umpire who gave this short run should have been man of the match.
