The eliminator match of IPL 2024 is being played between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore. In this match being played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Rajasthan Royals won the toss and invited RCB to bat. In a do or die match, no RCB batsman could play a big innings. The team kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Meanwhile, people raised questions on Dinesh Karthik remaining not out.

Onfield umpire gave out

Avesh Khan bowled the 15th over for Rajasthan Royals. Avesh Khan appealed for LBW on the third ball of the over and the on-field umpire gave Dinesh Karthik out. Karthik took review and the third umpire overturned the field umpire's decision. Now social media users are raising questions on the decision of the third umpire. He says that the ball was outside the bat. The spike was visible on the ultra edge as soon as the bat hit the pad. However, it was difficult for the umpire to know whether the spike appeared to hit the pad or the bat appeared to hit the pad.
