WATCH : Mumbai Indians fall victim to horrendous umpiring

Mumbai Indians snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in their opening game. Rana scored 50 off 29 balls and Pandya a quickfire 29 not out to help MI score 60 in just four overs to chase down KKR’s 178. But for a major part of the game, the dice rolled in KKR's favour and two horrendous umpiring gaffes added to MI's misery.

On the third delivery of the eighth over, Buttler was hit on the pads by a fast delivery from Ankit Rajpoot as the batsman attempted a flick to legside. The umpire declared the batsman out although the ball seemed to miss the leg stump.

Rohit Sharma walked in next and on the last delivery of the following over he too fell to a bad decision, by umpire Nandan. Sunil Naraine bowled an off-break which sharply came back in and cramped the Mumbai batsman but he managed to get his bat on the way. The resultant inside edge saw the ball smash onto his pads but the umpire seemed ignorant to that fact and raised his finger to an lbw appeal. 

Rohit was visibly disappointed and his emotions got the better of him and that resulted in an outburst.
