Chennai Super Kings Accused of Fixing Against RCB After Faf du Plessis’ Controversial Dismissal

Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) must-win IPL 2024 match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) saw a dramatic turn with captain Faf du Plessis’ unusual dismissal. The incident has left the internet sharply divided.

Faf du Plessis was caught short at the non-striker’s end after the ball deflected off bowler Mitchell Santner‘s fingers and dislodged the bails. The third umpire, after reviewing replays and using Ultra-Edge technology, adjudged him out, sparking controversy.

The crux of the debate lies in whether Du Plessis’ bat was grounded when the ball hit the stumps. Many fans on social media believe his bat was in contact with the crease, arguing he wasn’t out.
Some have even gone as far as accusing CSK of match-fixing.

Let’s take a look at some of the reactions:
