The Decision Review System (DRS) was underneath the scanner once more when Matthew Wade’s overview of a leg-before determination was turned down within the Indian Premier League match between Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bangalore at Wankhede Stadium on Thursday.
UltraEdge confirmed the very faintest, nearly negligible, of spikes when the ball handed beneath Wade’s bat on his tried sweep earlier than it hit his pad. But on side-on replays, it was clearly seen that the ball had modified its trajectory and began to go downwards after it handed the bat, displaying that it had taken a chunky under-edge.

Wade appeared extraordinarily assured that he had hit the ball and reviewed as quickly as umpire Sadashiv Iyer raised his finger. While the large display screen on the floor was displaying replays, Wade was so certain he even acquired able to take his stance to face the following supply from Glenn Maxwell. He even appeared to inform a few RCB fielders that he had hit the ball, however when the third umpire Navdeep Singh moved on to examine ball-tracking after UltraEdge confirmed barely any spike, a shocked Wade started shaking his head in disbelief. He stormed off in frustration as ball-tracking confirmed three reds. The third umpire had ignored the seen proof on replays in favor of the UltraEdge studying.
UltraEdge had returned one other unusual studying earlier on May 9, when Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma was adjudged caught-behind off Tim Southee on a Kolkata Knight Riders overview at DY Patil Stadium. On that event, it took a very long time to get the UltraEdge studying, which confirmed one barely larger spike amid a seamless stream of unusually giant spikes because the ball handed Rohit’s bat. Bruce Oxenford was the third umpire on that event.
