He went on to add that such mistakes are definitely "not a good advertisement" for the game."The process is that the team reports the matter through the captain and team manager. After that, we assess it as the governing council. The match referee also puts in his report wherein he can mention the same," the official said."Whether this would have changed what happened is difficult to say as the strike would have changed and Mayank was hitting the ball sublimely and the change of strike could have thrown that out of gear."The incident took place in the 19th over of KXIP's chase when Agarwal played a shot and took two runs. However, on-field umpire Menon deemed it as a single.Both teams scored 157 runs in the allotted 20 overs and Delhi Capitals won the match in the Super Over.Former cricketer Virender Sehwag, who himself has represented KXIP in the league, said the umpire's call made the difference in the match and he should be 'Man of the Match'."I don't agree with the man of the match choice. The umpire who gave this short run should have been the man of the match. Short Run nahin tha. And that was the difference. #DCvKXIP," Sehwag wrote on Twitter.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
