Mumbai Indians (MI) head coach Mark Boucher looked in a furious mood during the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 game against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The 60th game of the tournament is underway at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Mark Boucher looked furious over the confusion that made umpires question the Mumbai Indians. After Piyush Chawla went off the field after completing his overs, Rohit Sharma came out as a substitute fielder for the leg-spinner at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
However, after that Piyush Chawla returned and Rohit Sharma was still in the field. But this time he stayed in the field as a replacement for Nuwan Thushara, who went off the field after his overs. This created a lot of confusion in the umpires as they questioned Mumbai Indians.
The umpires were confused as they were not sure if Mumbai Indians used Rohit Sharma as an impact player or substitute fielder. Mark Boucher wasn't impressed by it as he was seen having an animated chat with the umpire at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
