Kolkata Knight Riders’ Spinner Varun Chakravarthy added fuel to a growing debate surrounding the controversial decision without the ball during the IPL 2025 collision between the Indians Mumbai and Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 17th.
The drama developed at the WankHhed stadium on Thursday, when Ryan Rickelton was expelled to me under unusual circumstances – not because of a pitcher error, but because of the technical violation of Wicketkeeper.
While he was chasing the modest target 163, Rickelton – then launched 21 out of 18 – originally in seventh place, with the permission of Spinner Zeeshan Ansari. The third referee, however, intervened, overturned the decision and remembered Rickelton from the border ropes. Reason? It was found that the goal of SRH Heinrich Klasen has its gloves marginally in front of the stumps when the van was delivered, launched, launched Rare call without a ball based on a technical agency.

At the moment he not only canceled the key breakthrough for SRH, but also overshadowed what was a great handling of Captain Pat Cummins. Since he was still winding me out of the release of Rohit Sharma, it could have been a turning point in a low score.
However, Chakravarthy disagreed with the call. KKR Spinner expresses his views through the X post and felt that the decision was unnecessarily rough on the pitch, especially in cases where violations were smaller and unintentional. According to him, the law penalizes a pitch for a mistake that is not his work, which in turn can unfairly shift the momentum.
“If the goalkeeper’s glove comes in front of the stumps, it should be a dead ball and a warning for the goalkeeper so that he would not do it again !!! Not a mile and a free hit !! What did the pitch?
What does the law say?
According to Act 27.3 of MCC code, it is necessary that at the end of the attacker it remains completely behind the stumps until the ball is touched by the bat or the stumps pass.
If the breeder moves too early from the position-dokonce and a fraction-is considered a violation of the law and the referee must declare a delivery as without the ball.
Although Rickelton was rejected in the following after 33 out of 23 Harshalem patel, the earlier moment continued his interviews. Many people believe it cost SRH both a key goal and valuable dynamics in what was already a close competition. And with someone like Chakravarthy, it challenges the spirit and interpretation of the rule is unlikely that the debate about the role and responsibility of the guard will soon die.
