IPL is one of the renowned formats of cricket. Over time, the popularity of IPL has increased only and the stigma is still on the verge of rising. IPL is the platform that has given the chance to many young cricket potential and talents. For instance, Hardik Pandya is the captain of IPL. However, the fact cannot be denied that there are times when cricket grounds got heated up due to several controversies. In this blog post, we will discuss the top 5 controversies of IPL 2022 and this is the latest IPL news.
Amidst an IPL match between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals, Delhi captain Rishabh Pant nearly called his players off the field. Rovman Powell hit three sixes off the first three balls to Obed McCoy and there was just the requirement of 36 runs for the final over. The third ball was seemingly over waist high and Powell asked if it was a no-ball. The on-field umpire did not rule the decision in favor of Delhi Capitals. Due to all this, Rishbah Pant told his team to walk off the ground. Then, head coach Ricky Ponting and batting coach Shane Watson cooled him down. But in all the team lost the match.
Virat Kohli was facing a lack in his IPL performance. His maiden IPL season was in 2008 but in 2022 he got out many times. Moreover, he got many ducks this season and was also facing bizarre types of dismissals and one such dismissal was in the match against Mumbai Indians. He was given LBW by on field umpire Virender Sharma when he already made 48 runs on 36 balls. The third umpire did not have enough evidence to overturn the decision as he saw the ball hitting the pads instead of the bat. Due to this, Virat Kohli vented out his anger, and his emotions were easily seen on the big screen.
In the second game of the 2022 IPL season between RCB and RR, Riyan Parag and Harshal Patel had an on-field spat. While returning to their respective dugouts, there were few words exchanged between both of them. Riyan Parag was even trying to walk up to Patel. The players from both teams separated the players in the end. After that, they did not even shake hands after the game.
Kane Williamson endured one of his worst seasons in IPL 2022. He ended the season with 216 runs with a score of just fifty in the entire season.
In SRH's very first game against RR, he fell to a controversial decision. He was controversially given out by the third umpire in the second over of the innings after being caught by Devdutt Padikkal at slip off the bowling of Prasidh Krishna.
The replays showed that Williamson did not edge the ball in the first place and the ball also did not reach Padikkal on the full. However, the third umpire ruled it out and this was the latest IPL cricket news of that time.
In the IPL season 2022, LSG needed 34 off 12 balls with Marcus Stoinis and Jason Holder at the crease. Stoinis Australian teammate was bowling in the 19th over of the match. The very first ball of his over fell outside the tramline but was not given a wide. That brought out an angry reaction from Stoinis who was told by the umpire that he was moved around the wicket.
He has dismissed off the very next ball as LSG lost the match in the end. The moment when he was dismissed Stoinis was boiling with anger and stared at the umpire before, leaving the crease and this was the IPL news of that time
