CSK vs DC: Chennai Super Kings batter Devon Conway did not had a great outing in CSK's match against Delhi Capitals. The left-handed opening batter finished his inning for just 10 in 13 balls as he was given out LBW on Axar Patel's ball. However, the Southpaw was earlier ruled not out despite the odds looking against him.
What was the incident about?
Conway did not had a great start and the surface also looked to aid the bowlers a bit. He hit only one boundary in his 13-ball stay. As the Chepauk surface helps spinners, DC captain David Warner decided to bring off-spinner Lalit Yadav into attack in the 4th over. Yadav bowled from around the wicket and bowled one fuller as he deceived Conway on a sweep. The umpire did not give Conway out and DC decided to go upstairs.
The third umpire had a look at the ultra edge and he decided that there was a little spike as the ball passed the bat on its way to the pads. This left the commentators on air shocked and stated that the DC management should ask the third umpire about his decision.
