15 seconds deciding on the result of RCB vs CSK –

15 seconds of apocalypse for CSK and exultation for RCB behind a bad decision by the referee Nitin Menon.

On a night of high drama at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) edged past the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by just two runs in a nail-biting encounter. But amid the thrilling finish, a contentious on-field decision involving Dewald Brevis became a major talking point — one that may have ultimately cost CSK the game.

CSK coach blames confusion

CSK head coach Stephen Fleming addressed the incident post-match, describing it as a “big moment” that left his players unsure of the protocol. The flashpoint occurred in the 17th over of CSK’s chase when Brevis was struck on the pad by a full toss from Lungi Ngidi.

Fleming suggested the players were distracted by the live action unfolding and uncertain about when the countdown had started. “There was a fair bit eaten up with the play still being completed,” he said, also clarifying that even if the review had been successful, the leg-byes wouldn’t have counted due to the immediate LBW dismissal.

In talking to Jaddu [Jadeja] And Brevis, a lot has happened to run immediately. I think they saw the ball's head and actually went to the border for four. And that's what Brevis has taken the review on time. I don't know the answer to this. At that time, he was not sure that they were running.

I understand that the timer started as soon as you are given. There was still something defeated by the completion of the game, and whether your time was exhausted… According to the referee's opinion, it was. The other part is because we wouldn't have conditions because it was given. We would protect the small door, it would definitely be nice to us.

Exactly what happened – and what the rules say

Lungi Ngidi, Brevis'i Ped'e hitting a complete shot, the 17th ranked CSK's chase exploded in the chase. Until then, CSK was considered to have seven small gates in the hands of the visitors, to a large extent, 42 of the 22 balls with a game needed.

The referee immediately lifted his finger, and Brevis and Ravindra Jadeja began to mark the-15-second critical DRS timer, thinking that when a single running a single. At that moment it was the exacerbation of tensions. Virat Kohli and other RCB players remained in the ears of the referee where the DRS timer was completed. Nitin

However, instead of examining it immediately, Brevis and Jadeja took time to evaluate and eventually missed the 15 -second review window. According to IPL game conditions, After a inclination is given, the ball dies and the examination should be requested within 15 seconds. The referees refused to examine late and then repeats, showing that the delivery was missing leg stumps – he was lost for a great moment.

In Espncricinfo, analysts did not punch Danny Morrison and Pussh Chawla. Morrison criticized the delay, asked, “Why do you record your reviews? Chawla was more directly: “You don't have to discuss. Just take the review.“Both pointed out the lack of disappointing match awareness with a brevis in wrinkles and CSK, which needs 21 closed 42, especially in wrinkles.

Finally, CSK was inadequate with only two runs. The missed examination appears great – not just as a mistake in the trial, but as a potentially decisive jump in a Crunch IPL conflict.
