CSK vs MI: Devon Conway denied DRS help because of power outage at Wankhede

Chennai Super Kings batter Devon Conway could not review an LBW call on Thursday as Mumbai did not have the technology available due to power outage.

Chennai Super Kings batter Devon Conway was caught in the middle of an unfortunate umpiring incident on Thursday, 12 May. Playing against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede stadium, the New Zealand batter was adjudged out in his first ball of the first over after Australian Daniel Sams trapped him in the pads.

While it looked like the ball was going down the leg side, the umpire adjudged him out. Conway had no chance to go for the review, since the Decision Review System was not available due to a power failure at the stadium.

Earlier in the game, the toss was delayed for several minutes as the floodlights did not switch on in time. Mumbai chose to bowl first after winning the toss in hopes to crash Chennai Super Kings’ party. The Rohit Sharma-led team has dropped Kieron Pollard on his birthday in a bid to move on with younger talent.
