IPL 2025: If Umpires Have Time To Check Bats, Then We Don’t Have Any Issue, Says Nitish Rana
In RR’s nine-wicket defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Jaipur, bats of Rana and Shimron Hetmyer were checked for their dimensions by on-field umpire Nitin Menon, who had a white triangular plastic gauge in hand. When RCB were batting, on-field umpire Sai Darshan Kumar inspected bats of Phil Salt and Devdutt Padikkal.
The random bat checks, as previously reported by IANS on Tuesday, is now going to be a routine affair in the rest of IPL 2025. “There is a huge shortage of time in a T20 game. If the umpires have that much time to check it, I guess it is their right to check it. Even my bat was checked. In that game, 60-70% of the batter's bats were checked. So, I think it is fair enough. We don't have any say in it and it is not controllable. So, how will we control it?”
