IPL 2022: Players should be allowed to review wides, high no-balls, say Daniel Vettori & Imran Tahir

The discussion around reviewing wides and no balls has resurfaced after Rajasthan Royals' skipper Sanju Samson expressed his frustration during their match against Kolkata Knight Riders on Tuesday.

Daniel Vettori, former New Zealand cricketer and Imran Tahir, the South African cricketer expressed their support for Samson and said that there should be DRS reviews for no-balls and wides.

Vettori said that several times the umpires are wrong and the decision goes against the bowlers. The players should have some avenues towards rectifying these mistakes, he added.

Tahir too, agreed with Vettori and said that there is not much for the bowlers, when batsmen are hitting you all over, you don't have much choice than bowling wide yorkers and wide leg-breaks. If that becomes wide the bowlers are in trouble, he added.

Despite the slight movement of the batters, Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh, umpire Nitin Pundit gave 3 wide calls in the 2nd last over that irked the skipper. Samson who was visibly unconvinced with the decision asked for a review. However, there is no DRS review for wides and height no-balls and the umpire's decision stood.

Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh propelled Kolkata to a 7-wicket win as Rajasthan suffered their 2nd consecutive defeat.
