Controversy arose as Rohit Sharma's call to go for the DRS came at the nick of time. Rohit literally gestured at the 0th second, when the timer was turned red. It happened in the second over, when Mumbai Indians opener Rohit Sharma was declared out hoping to get an LBW. Fazalhaq Farooqi pitched the ball outside off and it went straight to Ro's pads. The umpire, right after the appeals, raised the finger. Rohit then had a discussion with his opening partner Ryan Rickelton, and chose to go for the DRS. Probably he wasn't sure if the ball would have targeted the stumps or had some probability calculations in his mind.

The moment the third umpire dismissed the on-field umpire's decision, Rohit Sharma released a sigh of relief and erupted in joy, shaking his head in a trademark Rohit gesture. Rohit Sharma didn't want to take that review but thank god he took it at the last moment. pic.twitter.com/WUVBU22iWG — R A T N I S H (@LoyalSachinFan) May 1, 2025 Rohit Sharma's DRS decision was not out. I think it was an Umpire Call but again it's Mumbai Indians so it has to be Pitching Outside. #RRvsMI pic.twitter.com/VBGZ3czWFh — Nikhil Gupta (@Nikhilgupta1104) May 1, 2025 Read also: 6 Indian Cricketers Who Were Banned by BCCI Over Age Fraud Mumbai Indians comes to bat first loosing the toss Mumbai Indians face Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur today for IPL 2025’s 50th match.
