Geez, I know umpiring isn’t an easy job, but to miss that one is a bit disappointing. Tough luck for RCB and apparently Kohli fumed at the Umpires after the game, like he went into the Umpires room after the game to have a go at them.
This is the international Umpire we are talking about.He only had two job for a final delivery - simply watch for no ball and LBW(for anything else,3rd umpire was already there). Heck even if he somehow missed to check the front foot,he could've simply asked the 3rd umpire to check for no ball.Why not simply replace current umpires with random 20 yr old fans.They can't be much worse than 90yrs old umpires with cataract eyes and they will probably do it for free also.
I've seen lots of garbage umpiring in last few years,be it in Ipl or even International cricket(mainly against weaker sides ie Bd,afg,ireland).For how long can this farce be tolerated?
