Sachin praised Virat in his recent Twitter post dedicated to RCB's dominant win against SRH. "It was evident that this would be Virat's day from the very first ball when he played that cover drive. Virat and Faf both looked in total control, they not only played many big shots but also ran rather well between the wickets to build a successful partnership. 186 wasn't a big enough total for the way they both batted," Sachin tweeted.

With almost no margin for error, one umpiring blunder could prove costly for the teams that are in contention. In general, the umpiring hasn't been up to the standards, especially considering the high quality of cricket that has been on display.
