IPL 2020: WATCH- On-field umpire mistakenly calls short-run robbing KXIP of a win

This short run call resulted in KXIP ending up on same total as DC and game went into super over.

The second match of the IPL 2020 saw Delhi Capitals (DC) winning against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) in Dubai in an exciting super over after the match was tied. However, now it has been discovered that if it had not been for a mistake by the on-field umpire, KXIP would have actually won the match.

In the third ball of the penultimate over during Kings XI's chase, Mayank Agarwal completed two runs but the square leg umpire called it a run short against Chris Jordan.

However, when the replays were shown on TV, it was clear that Jordan had grounded his bat behind the crease properly while turning for the second run.
