Shivam Dube: Chennai, which entered the 17th season of IPL as a strong team, suffered its third defeat. The team is currently on the third position in the points table. Chennai team lost by 8 wickets in the match against Lucknow at Ekna Stadium on Friday. Lucknow captain Rahul won the toss and opted to bowl wisely. Chennai team batted first. With Ravindra Jadeja, Ajinkya Rahane and Mahendra Singh Dhoni playing key innings as key players were out, Chennai team scored 177 runs. Chennai bowlers failed miserably to save that target. Lucknow players batted aggressively due to the lack of pace in the Chennai bowling. They hit the target of 177 runs in 19 overs. They won by losing only two wickets.
But an interesting incident took place on the field while Chennai were batting. Chennai player Shivam Dubey's pockets were checked by Field Empire. On-field empire Anil Chowdhury approached Shivam and spoke to him for a while. After that he checked his pockets very suspiciously. Photos and video related to this have gone viral. So far in this IPL 17th season, no empire has checked the pockets of the players. As Shivam's pockets were checked, there was a sudden discussion. sports analysts say on-field empires rarely check players' pockets. But the reasons why Field Empire checked Shivam's pockets are not known. Did the players bring any items to change the ball or make any changes to the bat? Empires keep checking with suspicion. Players are also not allowed to use creams, bubble gum, ointments, or other lotions without Empire's permission. Meanwhile, Shivam Dubey, who has shown his ability in the recent matches, got out by scoring only three runs in the match against the Lucknow team.
Meanwhile, Chennai fans are angry about checking the pockets of Empire Shivam..”He followed all the rules. He came to the field as usual. But it is not proper to check the pockets of umpire Shivam as if he knows some reliable information.. that he has brought prohibited items. All this causes criticism to spread that Shiva has done something he should not have done. Chennai fans are expressing their anger on the social media platform saying, “I wish they don't know what empires do at times.”
