New Delhi. Kolkata Knight Riders opener Sunil Narine played a brilliant innings in the first match of IPL 2025. He scored against Royal Challengers Bangalore at a strike rate of 169.23.

Naren missed his half -century by 6 runs in this match.
When the umpire did not get Sunil Narine out, people started making different kinds of comments on social media. But on -field umpire Abhijeet Benegari and Vinod Sessions were right in their place. Despite having a hit development, the decision of the umpire was correct. Let’s know. RCB bowler Rasikh Salam Dar threw a bouncer. Which was called wide by the leg umpire. Meaning the ball was dead ball. Seeing the ball jumping over his head, Naren let him go. During this time, while coming down, his bat hit the stump and the bails fell. Tim David appealed but did not make any difference to the umpire.

Despite the appeal of the player of the opposing team, the umpire had no impact because according to the Merilbone Cricket Club (MCC) Rule 35.1.1 KK, the batsman can be dismissed ‘hit wicket’ only when he is trying to hit the shot. Here Naren had no intention of doing this. Despite being the ball wide, if the batsman had tried to smash the ball, the umpire would have picked up the finger and would give it out to the batsman.
The ‘hit wicket’ can be given on batsman wide delivery. This is possible only when the batsman is trying to play the shot and at that time his bat is on the stump. He is a legal delivery or wide. If the batsmen are not trying to play after the ball passed (for example, if not related to the shot is not related to playing or losing balance), they will not be out.
