Umpire signals wide in never-seen fashion video goes viral on Social Media

VIDEO | Umpiring on the cricket field is no less than a challenge. On-field umpires need to take decisions within seconds and in such a situation, it is very difficult for them to take an impartial decision. There was a lot of controversy regarding umpiring during the two-match Test series between India and New Zealand. The umpire makes his decision with some body signal, such as raising both hands means that the batsman has hit a six and six runs have been added to the batting team. If a finger is raised, the batsman is considered out. Although these actions are very simple, but a video is becoming quite viral on social media, in which the umpire is giving wide signals in such a way that cricket fans have rarely seen before.

 This video that went viral on social media is being told of the ongoing T20 cricket tournament in Maharashtra. A different style of umpiring was seen in Maharashtra's local cricket tournament 'Purandar Premier League' when the umpire used feet instead of hands to give wide signals. In the video, the umpire can be seen how he approaches the camera before separating his legs and making a spectacular handstand to make his decision. To signal the wide, the umpire stood on his head and spread both the legs in the air and gave wide. This video of umpire is becoming quite viral on social media.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan also shared the video

Former England captain Michael Vaughan has also shared this video on social media. He wrote in the accompanying caption that definitely we should see this person joining the ICC Elite Panel. It's not like this umpire was only doing this in one match. He is becoming famous for his peculiar umpiring throughout the league. In another match of the league itself, the umpire signaled him as if he was dancing with Bollywood hero Govinda.
