The decision of Krunal Pandya to leave the field during the LSG vs MI match is called cheating

On Tuesday, Marcus Stoinis, who is the player of the Krunal Pandya-led Lucknow Super Giants, gave a boost to the team with an unbeaten 89 against the Mumbai Indians in an IPL 2023 match in Lucknow. While Stoinis was making some brilliant shots, Pandya also looked solid as he played the anchor role.

He was batting 49 off 42 balls at the end of the 16th over when he could be seen hobbling, and before the start of the next over, he left the field. Although according to the rules, a batsman can be retired out after declaring himself out anytime during his innings, in the case of Krunal Pandya, there was confusion about whether he was retired hurt or retired out. Later on, he came on to the field to lead the side during LSG's bowling.


Even the star spinner of the Indian Cricket Team, R Ashwin, tweeted: "Retired out? #LSGvsMI #KrunalPandya" This tweet from R Ashwin had a sharp reply from one of the users, saying, "Utterly cheating." To which Ashwin commented, "The rules permit you to do it! There is no cheating."

However, after the end of the game, the stand-in captain of LSG Krunal cleared that he had retired hurt. "I was having cramps; I pulled a muscle."
