Nitin Menon Takes Umpire Review During Arjun Tendulkar's Over vs SRH. Twitter Surprised

Mumbai Indians got a hattrick of wins on Tuesday when they defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by 14 runs in their IPL 2023 match. Asked to bat first, the Rohit Sharma-led side posted a total of 192/5 in 20 overs, courtesy of Cameron Green's unbeaten knock of 64 runs. Later, SRH were bundled out 178 after the entire bowling unit contributed in team's victory. However, a strange moment, involving umpire Nitin Menon, caught everyone's attention and became one of the major highlights of the match.

On the fourth ball of the third over in SRH's chase, Arjun Tendulkar bowled a delivery to Rahul Tripathi, which went through the leg side and landed safely into the hands of MI wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan. Both the wicketkeeper and the pacer appealed for a caught behind but the umpire signaled it wide. Skipper Rohit Sharma also did not show any interest in taking a DRS but what happened next, surprised everyone.

Nitin Menon seemed to be a bit confused and he took an umpire's review, to check whether it was a wide ball or not. Later during the ultra edge check, it was found that was no bat involved and it was given a wide ball.

As neither of the teams had opted for a DRS review, Menon's act sparked curiosity on Twitter and many fans expressed their disappointment regarding the umpire's lack of judgement.
