<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indian Premier League</a> (IPL) is the cricketing festival that keeps the entire country hooked. There is a lot of zeal surrounding the tournament in every part of India, and every little thing that happens on the field is scrutinized heavily by the experts and millions of fans.

Meanwhile, IPL and controversy have always gone hand in hand in the history of the cash-rich league. Over the 15 editions of the tournament, almost every season, there has been a decision that has changed the course of the match and the season for a particular franchise. While it worked in favour of some teams, it has also worked against many others. The controversies have highlighted the discrepancy in the umpiring standards in the tournament and the quality of umpires as well. Here are the

5 controversial decisions by umpires in IPL 2022 so far

1. Virat Kohli&#8217;s LBW against Mumbai Indians

We all know about the former Indian skipper Virat Kohli&#8217;s capabilities. The thought of him standing on the crease petrifies the bowlers. However, he is going through a rough patch in this edition of the IPL so far and has bagged golden ducks in the last two games.

In the match against Mumbai Indians, Kohli faced a contentious LBW decision on the very first ball of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/icydk-dewald-brevis-has-smashed-the-longest-six-in-ipl-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dewald Brevis</a>. Batting splendidly on a score of 48 runs off just 36 balls, he was given LBW by umpire Virender Sharma. The third umpire also didn&#8217;t do anything as he felt that the ball hit the bat and pad simultaneously, and there wasn&#8217;t enough evidence to overturn the on-field umpire&#8217;s decision.

Virat left the field in rage, slamming the bat to the ground. This decision fumed many controversies and the RCB fans took to Twitter to bash BCCI  for the umpire&#8217;s slip. However, this decision restricted Virat Kohli from scoring his first half-century in this edition as he is struggling with his form with the bat in the tournament so far.

2. Marcus Stoinis&#8217; wide ball against Royal Challengers Bangalore

(Photo Source: Disney+Hotstar)</figcaption>

The Aussie all-rounder Marcus Stoinis joined the LSG squad late after fulfilling his international duties. He has been performing well with both the bat and ball so far in the tournament. He scored some crucial runs in the match against RCB when the top-order of LSG faced a collapse.

In that match, Stoinis faced a contentious wide ball from <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/lsg-vs-rcb-josh-hazlewood-admits-being-lucky-as-umpire-didnt-signal-his-wide-delivery/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Josh Hazlewood</a> as he bowled the ball outside the tramline. However, it was not declared wide by the on-field umpire. The umpire stated that the ball was within the reach of Stoinis as he shuffled a bit. He looked disappointed but slid the decision with a smile. However, he lost his cool and looked in rage when his stumps were shattered on the next ball from his compatriot as he was trying to hit a shot behind the wickets.

LSG lost the match as the wicket of Stoinis proved to be the turning point. The contentious wide-ball decision in that match sparked many controversies on social media. Stoinis looked frustrated with the decision as he left the ground in rage.

3. Devdutt Padikkal&#8217;s controversial catch against Sunrisers Hyderabad

(Photo Source: Disney+Hotstar)</figcaption>

Kiwi skipper Kane Williamson&#8217;s abilities are widely known in the cricketing world. He has a reputation for turning the tables of a match single-handedly. However, he is having ups and downs in the tournament so far.

In the match against Rajasthan Royals, Williamson faced a contentious decision. He was controversially given out by the third umpire in the second over of the innings after being caught by <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2022-rr-openers-jos-buttler-and-devdutt-padikkal-run-four-display-amazing-fitness-levels/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Devdutt Padikkal </a>at slip. The decision was hard to make from the naked eye as the on-field umpire went upstairs. While there was no question about Williamson edging the ball, the catch didn’t look clean to many as it seemed the ball has landed on the turf before Padikkal grabbed it.

This decision from the third umpire had the whole of Twitter in disbelief and sparked many controversies. Williamson&#8217;s wicket proved to be crucial for the Rajasthan Royals as they went on to win the match.

4. Hrithik Shokeen&#8217;s catch against the Chennai Super Kings

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-633267" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Hrithik-Shokeen-2.jpg" alt="Hrithik Shokeen" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-633267" class="wp-caption-text">Hrithik Shokeen. (Photo Source: Disney+Hotstar)</figcaption>

Hrithik Shokeen made his IPL debut for the Mumbai Indians in their game against Chennai Super Kings. In his first IPL game, the young off-spinner became the victim of another contentious decision by the umpires. As a result of this decision, he was denied his maiden IPL wicket.

In the match against the defending champions, Mumbai managed to post only 155 runs. The incident happened on the fourth delivery of the eighth over of CSK innings. Chasing a total of 156, CSK found themselves at 50/2, with <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/i-had-nothing-to-do-with-this-decision-robin-uthappa-reveals-what-ms-dhoni-told-him-after-mega-auction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robin Uthappa</a> and Ambati Rayudu on the crease. Uthappa went for a straight drive against the spinner Hrithik Shokeen and ended up hitting it straight to the bowler who grabbed the ball and claimed a catch. Umpire Bruce Oxenford, however, was not particularly convinced and referred the decision to the third umpire. The replays were not perfectly conclusive and the third umpire ruled it as not out.

The disappointment from this decision was visible on the faces of the Mumbai players. The debutant also looked quite disappointed as he was denied his maiden IPL wicket. It sparked many controversies over social media and the umpires were again condemned for their contentious decisions.

5. Obed McCoy&#8217;s no ball against Delhi Capitals

Rajasthan Royals are riding in high spirits after their consecutive wins against two of the strong teams of IPL 2022, Delhi Capitals (DC) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The heavenly form of Jos Buttler is proving to be extremely fruitful for them. However, in their match against the Capitals, the umpires gave yet another contentious decision.

In the match, Delhi&#8217;s Rovman Powell faced a contentious decision from the umpires in the very last over of the match. With 36 runs required off the last over, the West Indian had struck three sixes off the first three deliveries. However, the third ball was a beamer from Rajasthan&#8217;s pacer Obed McCoy. It seemed a no-ball to many as it was clearly above the waist height. However, the umpires were not convinced enough to declare it a no-ball, leaving the Delhi Capitals squad quite disappointed.

The frustration was visible on the faces of Delhi Capitals&#8217; players as well as their captain <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/rishabh-pant-calling-the-players-back-was-way-out-of-line-wasim-jaffer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rishabh Pant</a>, who ragingly called out to his batsmen from the dug-out to return to the pavilion. This decision sparked many controversies over social media. The behaviour of Pant also sparked controversies. The Capitals captain was fined 100% of the match fee for his disrespectful behaviour.

IPL 2022: 5 controversial decisions by umpires in the tournament so far

IPL and controversy have always gone hand in hand and the 15th edition of the tournament has been no different.
