New Zealand Batter Accuses Pakistan Spinner Of 'Chucking' Mid-Over In PSL, Sparks Huge Row

The Pakistan Super League encounter between Multan Sultans and Islamabad United on Wednesday saw a massive controversy as Colin Munro called out Iftikhar Ahmed for 'chucking' mid-way into his over. While the umpire or the match officials did not say anything, Munro directly told Iftikhar that he was 'chucking' during his bowling. During the 10th over of the Islamabad United innings, Iftikhar bowled a yorker that was successfully defended by Munro. However, the New Zealand batter decided to confront the bowler and claimed that his bowling action was illegal. The Pakistan spinner was left fuming and what followed was a war of words that was ultimately stopped by the on-field umpires.

Under Pressure Rahul Dravid Delivers Brutal "No Options" Message To Rajasthan Royals

Head coach Rahul Dravid on Wednesday acknowledged that Rajasthan Royals cannot afford another slip-up after sliding to eighth on the IPL points table and his team has "no option" other than start "winning games quickly."

This stage is a tournament… just over half way, we find ourselves at the bottom half of the table," Dravid said in the pre-match press conference.
