IPL 2024: KKR vs. MI: Claims of toss fixing resurface:-

When the claims of throw fixing resurface, online users comment, “Faf Du Plessis exposed it.”

During IPL 2024, users accused match officials of improper conduct, leading to allegations of toss rigging. The social media flames was fueled by this Hardik Pandya toss incident.

The Mumbai Indians, led by Hardik Pandya, lost to the Kolkata Knight Riders by 24 runs on Friday at the Wankhede stadium, marking their eighth loss of the IPL 2024 season. More than anything that occurred during the game, though, a throw ceremony event is becoming well known on social media, with some fans alleging that foul play was involved.

Hardik Pandya threw the coin on Friday, but before the cameraman could get a clear shot of the result, match referee Pankaj Dharmane scooped it up. Following the umpire’s decision to side with captain Hardik Pandya, social media users began speculating that the toss may have been manipulated.

Accusations of toss rigging in the 2024 IPL:-

 

Remarkably, this is not the first time this IPL season that such an accusation has surfaced. Social media users claimed that umpire Javagal Srinath tampered with the coin during the most recent game between the Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru by flipping it sideways when scooping it up.

In contrast, the announcers vigorously refuted the accusation in later games, with the cameraman close-ups on each coin toss to guarantee that such charges would not be allowed in the future. Nevertheless, once the referee scooped up the coin before the cameras had a chance to take a close look at it, social media users went on the attack once more.

Internet users accuse toss tampering:-

Questioning the referee’s timing in picking up the coin, one user on X (previously Twitter) said, “WTH, the referee scooped up the coin before the cameras could see it. Why is this limited to Mumbai Indians games?”

A different person added, “Whenever the toss happens at Wankhede Stadium with Mumbai Indians, we never see a clear toss in the @IPL@BCCI it’s really shame”

Some people were also made aware of the fact that Faf Du Plessis had initially discovered issues with the way the coin was flipped. “Faf du Plessis revealed how the coin was flipped during the toss to favor MI,” they said.
