Some went back to the memories of he World Cup final and slammed Sri Lankan umpire Kumar Dharmasena, who erroneously awarded England 6 runs and played a part in handing them the World Cup.
Some fans of the game did try umpirig. “Not out sir, though harsh on bowler,” read a tweet.
Sachin Tendulkar today put out a video on Twitter in which during a cricket match, the ball hit one of bails but it did not get completely dislodged from the stumps.
While all the players stared at the bail eagerly, the umpie came and put it back in the right position.
Tendulkar asked: 'A friend shared this video with me. Found it very unusual! What would your decision be if you were the umpire?'
As far as Sahin's posted video is concerned, the umpire thought the batsman was not out.
Others reacted with memes.
