The DRS controversy surrounding Rohit Sharma’s survival during Mumbai Indians’ match against Rajasthan Royals has sparked debate online. In the second over of the IPL 2025 league match, Rohit was given out lbw by RR pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi, but he opted for a review just as the 15-second timer expired. The third umpire ultimately ruled that the ball had pitched outside leg stump, overturning the on-field decision and allowing Rohit to continue his innings. Despite the contentious timing of the review, Rohit went on to score a crucial half-century and set a record for completing 6000 runs for Mumbai Indians in IPL history. This marked his third half-century in the last four matches, showcasing his return to form after a slow start to the season. Fans have been divided over the legitimacy of the review, with many questioning whether the decision should have stood. Nonetheless, Rohit’s performance on the field has been impressive, with notable innings against Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Overall, the incident has ignited a heated discussion among cricket enthusiasts about the use and timing of DRS in the game.
