The standard of umpiring in the ongoing IPL has been the subject of a raging debate and Mumbai Indians Director of Cricket Operations Zaheer Khan feels the more pressure you put on the umpires, more difficult it is going to get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Revered for his \u2018captain cool\u2019 demeanour, \nChennai Super Kings skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni uncharacteristically \nlost his composure and rushed out of the dug-out to challenge umpire \nUlhas Gandhe following his no-ball flip-flop during an IPL match against\n Rajasthan Royals on Thursday night.\u201cWell I think a lot of things have \nimproved and there is always room for improvement. So in terms of \nstandards of umpiring, it\u2019s not an easy job and the more pressure you \nput on them (the umpires), it\u2019s going to be even more difficult,\u201d said \nthe former left-arm pacer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou know as long as the right call \nhas been made it is fine. Yes in this tournament so far we have seen few\n incidents where things have gone little out of hand, but as long as the\n umpiring is consistent throughout the game, then it should be ok,\u201d \nZaheer told reporters here on the eve of Mumbai Indians game against \nRajasthan Royals.Asked specifically whether all no-balls calls should be\n referred to the third umpire, Zaheer said, \u201cRegarding the line-call \nwhich you are talking about, the no-ball, it has been referred to third \numpire on many occasions, specially you see the game has stopped because\n after a wicket has fallen, (the) umpire (is just) making sure .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo\n the measures have been taken but there is some room of improvement. As \nlong as everyone is working in that direction it should be okay.\u201d \nMeanwhile, Zaheer praised death overs specialist Jasprit Bumrah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf\n you see that how he has progressed over the years in last four or five\n years that\u2019s a clear indication he is thinker of the game and he is \nalways trying out things. He is making use of all the resources which \nare available with him, which is right from talking to the senior \nbowlers to making use of the technology, watching videos, talking to \nbatsmen, so he is pretty good with his processes,\u201d he said.\u201ca very \nbalanced guy, doesn\u2019t like to show his emotions much. You got to give \ncredit to Rohit as well, because is very keen on getting him to the \nset-up.\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
