Shaw got annoyed with the umpire
The pitch at Chinnaswamy Stadium was showing no sign of helping the bowlers. The day’s sunshine made the batsmen’s job easier. The biggest disappointment came to Mumbai left-arm spinner Shams Mulani (117 for one in 40 overs) who bowled very loosely. Dubey has scored 613 runs while Shubham has scored 578 runs this season. The ball hit the boundary and both continued to score one run each. In a partnership of 222 runs, both of them took one run each 76 times. Arman Jaffer dropped Shubham’s catch at the shot point, but no one was able to impress except Mohit Awasthi (53 for 20 in 20 overs). The Mumbai players also appealed for dismissal several times in despair. On one occasion Captain Shaw started telling umpire Virender Sharma that the ball has gone after hitting the bat, you have not heard that.
Dubey celebrated in the estimation of Sidhu Musewala
However, the replay showed that the ball came out of the far side of the bat. Dubey also celebrated his century by raising his finger to the sky after touching his thigh like Sidhu Musewala. As Sarfaraz did for Mumbai. However, it seemed that his celebration was responding to Sarfaraz instead of paying tribute to Musewala. Shubham fell victim to Awasthi while Mulani made Dubey walk. After this, Patidar and Srivastava thwarted Mumbai’s comeback attempt with an unbeaten 72-run stand for the fourth wicket.
