RCB vs CSK: Umpire Anil Chaudhary puts Dewald Brevis DRS controversy to bed
Former umpire Anil Chaudhary has shared his views on Dewald Brevis' controversial decision during the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) vs Chennai Super Kings (CSK) fixture of the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025) on Saturday, May 3. Brevis was given out lbw on the field in the 17th over of the second innings. However, the youngster wasn't allowed to opt for the DRS, which left the entire CSK camp, especially his batting partner Ravindra Jadeja, Anil Chaudhary opened up on the controversy and explained that it's the responsibility of the batter to look at the umpire, who keeps a track of the 15-second countdown to take the review. However, since they were busy with running after the decision and hence couldn't spot the umpire's signal.'It's the responsibility of the batter to look at the umpire. Even when five seconds are left, the umpire informs the player about it. Generally, there's no communication gap. It's a part of our protocol that whenever five seconds are left, we make gestures so that the batter sees it. I saw for the first time that the batters were busy running even after being given out. The ball is dead after the batter is given out; there's no point in running. Those runs wouldn't have counted, even if the decision had been reversed. The batters wasted their time by running, and hence they couldn't listen to the umpire's communication,' said Chaudhary in a video shared by Star Furthermore, Chaudhary mentioned that it was the mistake of the person operating the big screen that the timer wasn't shown on the big screen, which confused the batters.'Even I saw that the umpire told them that it's beyond 15 seconds now, which must've been conveyed to him by the TV umpire. However, the timer didn't come on the big screen, which is confusing for players. Hence, it's a cause of worry that it didn't appear on the big screen. It's not the mistake of the umpire but the person operating the big screen. It was a bit of bad luck for the players that they couldn't see it, hence we can't blame them too much,' he of the most talked-about calls of the match Experienced umpire #AnilChaudhary weighs in on the #DewaldBrevis decision#IPLRace2Playoffs #KKRvRR | SUN 6th MAY, 2:30 PM on Star Sports 2, Star Sports 2 Hindi & JioHotstar! Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) May 3, 2025To rub salt into CSK's wounds, the ball-tracking technology showed that the ball would've gone on to miss the stumps and hence Brevis would've been adjudged not out, if he had reviewed the decision. However, much to their dismay, he couldn't opt for it in the stipulated time and hence had to return on his way back to the pavilion.
