"That was not out": Fans claim Rohit Sharma was robbed as Sanju Samson's finger dislodged the bail and not the ball

Fans were irked after Rohit Sharma's controversial dismissal

Mumbai Indians skipper, Rohit Sharma was given out in what seems to be a controversial decision. Many feel that the bails were dislodged by the effect of Sanju Samson's gloves and not the ball directly. Rohit who is celebrating his 36th birthday today was dismissed cheaply while chasing a gargantuan total of 213 runs.

The incident took place on the last ball of the second over. Sandeep Sharma bowled a peach of outswinger that left Rohit Sharma and went to the gloves of Sanju. Sanju, who was standing up to the stumps, collected the ball cleanly but in the process ended up disturbing the bails inadvertently. In the end, that went unnoticed, and Rohit was given out which infuriated the fans on social media.

Fans raised questions on social media:

Suryakumar Yadav joined the forces and took the assault on the bowlers and carried on the innings for MI. Prior to this game, MI have lost two straight games. Currently, at the ninth position MI have had a topsy-turvy tournament so far.
