Punjab appeal against 'short run' call which cost them 2 points

Kings XI Punjab have lodged an official complaint with the match referee following a controversial 'short run' call made by on-field umpire Nitin Menon in their game against the Delhi Capitals. Punjab CEO Satish Menon told PTI that while they understand that a human error can happen but there was no room for human errors like these in a world class tournament like the IPL. He added it's unfair as this could cost them a playoff berth. Kings XI's co-owner Preity Zinta had earlier lashed out at the call and tweeted to question the point of technology if it cannot be used. She even asked BCCI to introduce new rules. Menon, who became the youngest ever to be inducted in ICC’s Elite Panel of Umpires, called a ‘run short’ when Chris Jordan took a couple of runs off Rabada in the 19th over. But TV replays clearly showed that Jordan legally completed the first run and the bat was inside the crease. If not for the blooper, Kings XI Punjab would have won the game without it going into a super over.
