No, there is nothing wrong in the headline. A dismissal which proved to be a non-dismissal in last night's SRH vs MI match did make a frontline KKR player feeling puzzled.

The incident stemmed from MI's Ryan Rickelton dismissal that was overturned against SRH last night.  Rickelton was initially given out after being caught by Pat Cummins off Zeeshan Ansari's bowling in the seventh over of MI's chase.

However, the third umpire suo motu intervened, ruling the delivery a no-ball after replays showed Klaasen's gloves were marginally in front of the stumps when the ball made contact with the bat. This apparently contravened MCC Law 27.3.1, which mandates that the wicketkeeper must remain wholly behind the stumps until the ball is met by the batsman. Rickelton, who had almost reached the boundary rope, was called back to the crease and awarded a free hit, though he was dismissed in the next over after scoring 31 off 23 balls.

This was a puzzling turn of events for many. The KKR mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy was one of them. He took to social media to question the fairness of the ruling. His point was nuanced.

Chakravarthy argued that such instances should result in a dead ball and a warning to the wicketkeeper, rather than penalising the bowler with a no-ball and a free hit. He wrote on X, "If the keeper's gloves come in front of the stumps, it should be a dead ball and a warning to the keeper so that he doesn't do that again!!! Not a no-ball and a free hit!! What did the bowler do? Thinking out loud!! What do you all think???" 

Anyway, this incident has added to a string of controversial third umpire decisions this season. During the Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals match, Axar Patel successfully challenged a wide call, leaving RR captain Sanju Samson visibly frustrated.

In the Gujarat Titans vs Kolkata Knight Riders game, a boundary decision was overturned after replays showed the ball had grazed a fielder's fingers before crossing the rope.

Mitchell Starc's no-ball call in the Super Over of DC vs RR drew criticism for its strict application of crease rules. Simon Doul in the commentary box was not happy. Though he later changed tack and said the umpire was right, his original point seem to have some validity.  

But what is an IPL season without its share of umpiring controversies.
