In the 7th over of Mumbai Chase, a bizarre development took place. Ryan Ricelton slapped a small ball from legspiner Zeeshan Ansari, where Pat Cummins caught it.
The recalleton had gone out of the border and Suryakumar reached the middle when some strange signs appeared when the fourth umpire raced to stop Ricelton just before the stairs leading to the dressing room.
This law was 27.3.1 which intervened. SRH wicketkeeper Henrik Klassen’s glove status was what the third umpire was focusing.
If the keeper’s gloves come in front of the stump, it should be a warning for a dead ball and keeper so that it does not do it again !!! No ball and a free hit !! What did the bowler do

The law states that “at the end of the wicket-keeper striker will remain completely behind the wicket, as long as a ball given by the ball bowler comes into the game, which touches the striker’s bat or person, or goes through the wicket at the end of the striker, or the striker attempts a run.” Law 27.3.2 says: “In violation of this law, in the event of wicket-keeper, the end of the striker will not call and sign any ball soon after delivery of the umpire ball.
And the hands of Classen’s glove had encroached that Ricelton had done Laxman Rekha just before contacting the ball.
Once the television replay confirmed this, the decision was reversed and Recellton was called back. He fell further, but before that slammed the couple of fours.
Earlier, SRH found a delay with bat to fight his way after 162 against Mumbai Indians on a difficult pitch in his Indian Premier League match.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad batsmen fought to be suited to the wickets for most of the innings, giving dividends at the Wankhed Stadium and in spinners and spinners and slow delivery for slow delivery and slow delivery.

But a big Finnish-57 runs were coming away from the last five overs-SRH gave some very important inspiration towards the end.
The MI bowlers were spot-on in preparing their plans and about 4-0-21–1 in their execution with Jaspreet Bumrah, Trent Bault resumed his yorker to return 4-0-29-1 to return his yorker again and Jack would produce an impressive 3-0-14-2.
