David Warner was given out LBW by Nitin Menon, the decision stood in DRS review | TwitterDelhi Capitals (DC) suffered a 91-run loss to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on May 8 in the ongoing IPL 2022 and DC opener David Warner was not a happy man on the field as his team continued to slip out of the playoffs race.

Warner tried his best to give DC a good start in their attempt to chase down 209 runs and scored 19 in 12 balls. He would have gotten many more, if not for umpire Nitin Menon giving him out.

The incident happened in the fifth over of the DC innings bowled by Mahesh Theekshana. The dashing southpaw went for a reverse sweep but missed the line and the bowler appealed. Menon gave Warner out, and the opener reviewed instantly.
