AB de Villiers has weighed in on the contentious dismissal of Virat Kohli during the KKR vs RCB match, emphasizing the need for clearer rules to avoid confusion and frustration. The former South African cricketer expressed his views on social media platform X, highlighting the importance of utilizing technology to resolve such situations definitively.
Kohli's dismissal, which came under scrutiny due to a full toss delivery, sparked controversy as the ball was deemed legal by the third umpire despite Kohli's objections. De Villiers suggested a straightforward solution to prevent such incidents in the future, advocating for the use of technology to assess the batter's stance, draw lines, and employ ball tracking to eliminate ambiguity.
In addition to addressing Kohli's dismissal, De Villiers also raised concerns about the wide ruling in cricket, calling for clarity and consistency in the application of this rule. He urged the cricketing authorities to leverage available technology effectively to enhance decision-making processes and minimize subjective interpretations.
De Villiers' remarks come in the wake of Kohli's aggressive start to RCB's run chase, where he showcased his intent by scoring boundaries off the KKR bowlers before his controversial dismissal in the third over.
