Delhi Capitals Star's Stumping Dismissal Against Mumbai Indians Sparks Controversy, Splits Internet
Delhi Capitals wicket-keeper batter Abishek Porel 's stumping dismissal sparked a massive controversy during the IPL 2025 match against Mumbai Indians on Wednesday. During DC's run chase, Porel was dismissed by Will Jacks but social media users were not convinced that his back leg was grounded in time or not. The third umpire decided that the back leg was in the air when the bails were removed but fans came up with a number of video clips to contradict the call. The dismissal proved to be crucial in the context of the match as MI book their IPL 2025 playoff berth with a big win over DC.

'We would've been very happy to get 160 but the way Naman and Surya finished it. Especially Naman, to come out and just hit on a difficult track was outstanding.' Naman Dhir smashed 24 off just eight balls, including two sixes and two fours, to provide the late flourish. Knocked out of title contention, Delhi Capitals' stand-in skipper Faf du Plessis said their failure to qualify for the IPL playoffs was a reflection of a faltering campaign. DC were eliminated after failing to chase 181, crumbling to 121 all out for a massive 59-run defeat. 'If you looked at the two teams before today's fixture, it was a case of David and Goliath, I enjoy that because it gives guys the opportunity to really play together as a team,' du Plessis said. 'Rizvi today showed some signs, he's got some talent there. When you're playing against a powerful team like this, you need to be at your best all the time and unfortunately for 17-18 overs we were and then the last two overs we were pretty average. 'With the bat, we needed a good start on a surface like that and we didn't get going at all. Sums up pretty much our season, we've been cold in either batting or bowling in the last 6-7 games. To be in the top four in the IPL, you can't afford to do that.'

Abishek Porel's controversial stumping ignites uproar in MI vs DC as fans erupt over tricky third-umpire call
The IPL 2025 clash between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals at Wankhede Stadium saw a pivotal moment early in Delhi's chase that sparked widespread controversy across social media platforms. Delhi Capitals wicketkeeper-batter Abishek Porel's stumping in the fifth over became a significant turning point of the match, contributing to MI's commanding 59-run victory that confirmed their place in the playoffs while ending Delhi's campaign prematurely. Delhi, chasing a competitive 181 set by Mumbai, stumbled early with the loss of key batsmen Faf du Plessis and KL Rahul inside the first three overs. The Capitals were further rattled when Porel, one of their more consistent performers this season, was dismissed after a contentious stumping off the bowling of Will Jacks. The ball, gripping and turning sharply on the Wankhede pitch, coaxed Porel to step out of his crease in an attempt to counterattack. However, wicketkeeper Ryan Rickelton's quick glove work saw him collect the ball and dislodge the bails in one swift motion. The decision was referred to the third umpire for a thorough review. The footage presented a split verdict: while some angles showed Porel's back foot possibly lifted before the bails were removed, others suggested it remained grounded inside the crease. Traditionally, in such tight scenarios, the benefit of the doubt favours the batsman. However, after a lengthy analysis, the third umpire ruled Porel out, handing Jacks his first IPL wicket and delivering Mumbai their third breakthrough inside the powerplay. The call drew immediate reactions. Social media was flooded with fans and experts debating the legitimacy of the dismissal. Many shared clips and screenshots appeared to challenge the decision, highlighting the ongoing concerns over the consistency and interpretation of DRS and third-umpire interventions in crucial IPL matches. However, a video angle also showed that Rickelton had dislodged the bails while Porel's foot was still in the air. While Porel himself showed little visible protest, the Delhi dugout's body language revealed clear disbelief. This contrasted sharply with Mumbai's jubilant celebrations, which recognised the moment as a turning point. Delhi Capitals, already struggling at 27/3, never recovered from the early setbacks. Though Vipraj Nigam showed brief resistance, scoring 20 runs with aggressive strokes, Mumbai's bowlers ruled the roost, especially spinners Mitchell Santner (3/11) and Jasprit Bumrah (3/12), who expertly exploited the grip and turn. Ultimately, Delhi folded for 121 in 18.2 overs, handing Mumbai a decisive win that secured their spot in the playoffs for the 11th time.

Abhishek Porel Out Or Not Out? Controversial Stumping Clouds Mumbai Indians' Win Over Delhi Capitals At Wankhede Stadium
The IPL 2025 clash between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Delhi Capitals (DC) at the iconic Wankhede Stadium delivered high drama — but not just on the scoreboard. A highly contentious stumping decision involving Delhi's consistent batter, Abhishek Porel, quickly overshadowed MI's commanding 59-run victory that secured their final playoff berth. This incident has ignited intense debate among fans, pundits, and cricket analysts alike, putting the spotlight on the reliability of third-umpire reviews and the Decision Review System (DRS) in high-stakes IPL matches. #MIvsDC #DCvsMI Will Jacks to Abhishek porel, OUT. — 2012 Yugantham (@2012Yugantham) May 21, 2025 Delhi Capitals entered their chase of 181 with cautious optimism, but their innings soon stumbled, largely due to early breakthroughs by the Mumbai Indians' bowling attack. Among these, the dismissal of Abhishek Porel in the fifth over proved to be a pivotal moment. Porel, who has been one of DC's standout performers this season, faced off against MI skipper Hardik Pandya's strategic bowling changes. With the ball gripping and turning sharply on a tricky pitch, Pandya introduced off-spinner Will Jacks to exploit the conditions against the left-handed Porel. As Porel attempted to counterattack, he was lured out of the crease by Jacks' turn. In a flash, wicketkeeper Ryan Rickelton whipped off the bails. The on-field umpire raised his finger, but the third umpire was called upon to verify the stumping due to its razor-thin margin. Third Umpire Review Sparks Social Media Frenzy The third umpire's review lasted longer than usual, with multiple camera angles showing conflicting evidence. Some replays suggested Porel's foot was slightly airborne when the bails came off, while others appeared to show it grounded behind the crease. Traditionally, in such inconclusive situations, the benefit of the doubt goes to the batter. However, after a painstaking analysis, the third umpire ruled Abhishek Porel out, handing Will Jacks his first IPL wicket and securing Mumbai's third breakthrough inside the powerplay. This decision ignited a social media storm, with fans and former cricketers expressing disbelief and frustration. Many questioned the accuracy and consistency of DRS reviews in IPL 2025, calling the ruling 'unfair' and 'inexplicable.' Hashtags like #AbhishekPorelNotOut and #MIvsDC trended as viewers dissected the footage frame-by-frame. Impact on the Match and Playoff Implications Beyond the controversy, Mumbai Indians' dominance was undeniable. The early wicket of Porel rattled Delhi Capitals, who were already struggling at 27 for 2 after four overs. MI's bowling unit, led by the clever variations of Hardik Pandya and the spin wizardry of Will Jacks, consistently applied pressure. Mumbai's 59-run victory not only sealed their spot in the playoffs but also marked a significant blow to Delhi Capitals' campaign, effectively ending their chances of progressing further in IPL 2025. Expert Analysis: The Need for Clearer DRS Protocols This incident has reignited long-standing debates within the cricketing fraternity about the clarity and fairness of third-umpire decisions, especially in tight stumping calls. Experts argue for enhanced technology integration—like ultra-high frame rate cameras and improved sensor-based crease detection—to minimize such controversies. Former players and commentators also stress the importance of maintaining the spirit of the game, urging umpires to lean towards the batter in cases of doubt to preserve competitive integrity.
