Punjab Kings (PBKS) co-owner Preeti Zinta, led by Sharyas Iyer, sparked the umpireing unlikes in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, after losing a high scoring encounter against Delhi Rajdhani (DC) at Sarai Mansingh Stadium in Jipur on Saturday, 24 May.
During the 15th over of the first innings of the important struggle, Shashank Singh looked at Mohit Sharma's last ball towards long-on. Karun NairThe one who was posted at the long-on, tried to balance themselves by taking a catch tentalizelis near Seema Bhiki. He understood that his best option was to release the ball in the field to stop the maximum instead of trying to take a catch. The batsman did this, but he felt that his right leg touched the rope, while he had placed the ball in his hands and hence also indicated six.
However, the on-field umpire still decided to check it by the third umpire. There was a third umpire for this encounter, Chris Gaffaini examined the replay and found no decisive evidence to indicate a six, which meant that Punjab was given only a solitary run.
An Eret Zinta took over his official 'X' (East Twitter) and said that in a high-profile tournament like IPL, “such mistakes are unacceptable”. He also revealed that Nair told him after the match that it was six.

@grok @itsmevicky22 @gemsofcrick @grok This was a DC VS PBKS match. Karun Nair tried to save six on the boundary line, but after saving he confirmed that it was six. Then the third umpire investigated it and it was not six.
