Tim David upset with umpire after controversial no-ball call results in his dismissal during Eliminator clash

Explosive Mumbai Indians (MI) batter Tim David was visibly upset with the on-field umpire’s decision after a waist-high full toss was not rendered ‘no-ball’, on which he was sent packing during the Eliminator clash against Lucknow Super Giants. Notably, the two sides squared off at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday, May 24, to book a spot in Qualifier 2.

In the first innings, following the dismissals at regular intervals, Mumbai were reduced to 105/4 in under 12 overs. However, the side pinned their hopes on the lower middle order to bail them out of the peculiar situation and help attain a competitive first innings total. 

However, during the third ball of the 17^th over, Tim David seemed visibly upset with the umpires after the latter failed to deem a waist-high delivery off Yash Thakur a ‘no-ball’. Notably, Thakur bowled a high full toss outside off which appeared to be over the waist for a potential no-ball call. 

However, David slogged it towards long-on which was comfortably pouched by Deepak Hooda. David, who believed that the delivery should have been called a no-ball, seemed dejected and headed back to the dugout for a score of 13 off 13 balls.
