The 52nd match of the IPL 2020 between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) saw a moment of controversy as Kane Williamson was not happy with the umpire’s faulty judgment call.
The incident happened during the 10th over of the SRH chase as Kane Williamson got ready to face RCB’s Isuru Udana. Udana let go a high full toss towards the leg side and Williamson pulled it to the fine leg. Everyone watching including Williamson expected it to be called a no-ball, as the ball was clearly above the waist-high.

But to the surprise of all, the square-leg umpire gave no signal of any kind and hence a shoulder-high full toss, which should have been called a no-ball, giving SRH a free-hit was missed and Williamson stood there shaking his head in disagreement.
The cricket fraternity was equally outraged and took to Twitter in order to show their displeasure with the umpires.
Here are the tweets:
