A bizarre incident took place during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024 between Mumbai and Madhya Pradesh at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. As Madhya Pradesh were batting first, in the last ball of the innings, Shardul Thakur bowled an wide yorker and despite the attempt of Rajat Patidar to reach it, the ball remained out of his reach. The on-field umpire called it wide and it was challenged by Mumbai via DRS. After a check, the third umpire declared it as not a wide. Patidar was shocked as the ball was even outside the wide line marked on the pitch and referred it again. In a bizarre way, this time the third umpire was convinced it was a wide and reversed the decision. The third umpire also apologised for his previous decision.

Decision Overturned
- On field umpire signals wide.
- Captain takes the review.
- 3rd umpire says it's not a wide because Patidar moved.
- Decision overturned.
- Patidar talks with on-field umpire and again it goes upstairs.
- 3rd umpire says 'I missed that, sorry it's a wide'.

No Wonder...
The third umpire in the #SMAT final has lost it. Ball pitches outside the extreme wide line, still he rules it not wide because Rajat Patidar moved across. Patidar shows dissent, then says "I missed that", sorry it's a wide. No wonder Indian umpiring standards are in the dumps
