Actually, in the second over of Hyderabad’s innings, a ball from the famous Krishna hit the outer edge of Williamson’s bat. After this the ball went towards the gloves of wicketkeeper Sanju Samson. But, Sanju Kaik could not catch him. At the same time, Devdutt Padikkal, standing there, dived ahead and took the catch. But the field umpires were confused about whether the catch was caught properly or not. Then he turned to the third umpire.

I can understand why the field umpire turned to the third umpire. We saw the evidence, it seemed very clear that the ball had hit the ground. Everyone knew what the verdict should have been?”
