By Sunrisers Hyderabad captain David Warner fumed after the umpires let Royal Challengers Bangalore bowler Harshal Patel continue to bowl despite bowling two no balls because of waist-high full tosses during an IPL 2021 match in Chennai on Wednesday. According to the rules – changed in 2017 – a bowler will be barred from bowling in the match after receiving two warnings from the umpires for bowling waist-high full tosses or beamers in the same match.
SRH coach Trevor Bayliss, however, explained why the umpires were right by not barring Patel from bowing despite bowling two beamers – one to Jason Holder in the 18th over and then to Rashid Khan in last over of the match.
Patel, who ended with figures of 2 for 25 in his 4 overs against SRH, is turning out to be one of the most bankable death ball bowlers for RCB.
Put in to bat, RCB managed 149 for eight on the back of Maxwell’s 41-ball 59 before Shahbaz changed the complexion of the match by dismissing Manish Pandey (38), Jonny Bairstow (12) and Abdul Samad (0) in one over, as SRH ended at 143 for nine in the stipulated 20 overs.
The victory propelled RCB to the top of the table.
