WPL 2025: Run-out controversy erupts..!?

 A run-out controversy has erupted in the 2025 Women's IPL match between mumbai Indians and delhi Capitals. Two decisions were taken against the international cricket Council's run-out rule. Due to this, mumbai Indians lost the match on the last ball. Former players and commentators are criticizing the umpires, pointing out that. Batting first, mumbai Indians scored 164 runs in 19.1 overs, losing all their wickets. delhi Capitals, who played next, were in a position to win if they scored 10 runs in the 20th over. At that time, Radha Yadav and Niki prasad were batting. Niki prasad was out on the fifth ball.
At that time, delhi Capitals could have won if they scored two runs off the last ball. At that time, arundhati Reddy hit a ball bowled by Sajana and ran for two runs. When she ran for the second run, just as it reached the crease, mumbai captain Harmanpreet Kaur fielded the ball and threw it to the wicketkeeper. Wicketkeeper arundhati Reddy broke the bails before the crease. When arundhati Reddy's bat hit the edge of the crease, the lights on the bails lit up. According to the international cricket Council's rules, when bails equipped with lights are used, there is a rule that a run-out can be decided by using a lighted lamp. But the umpire did not take that into consideration. Instead, he made his decision based on whether the bails had completely risen. Therefore, arundhati Reddy was declared not out. delhi Capitals were declared the winner due to this controversial decision. Following this, the mumbai Indians team and the fans of the team were dissatisfied. The mumbai Indians team lost another run out in the match. Due to this, former players and commentators have criticized the umpires. This controversy has created a lot of excitement in the cricket circle. Fans allege that this wrong decision of the umpires was the main reason for the defeat of the mumbai Indians team.
