Overview

  • Dewald Brevis was given out LBW during the RCB vs CSK IPL match but missed the 15-second DRS window while running between wickets.
  • Former umpire Anil Chaudhary stated that players are responsible for observing umpire signals, though acknowledged the absence of a timer on the big screen added confusion.
  • Ball-tracking technology revealed the delivery would have missed the stumps, which could have overturned the decision had a review been taken.
  • Virender Sehwag criticized Brevis for failing to act within the review window, emphasizing player responsibility over the umpire or technical issues.
