A huge controversy broke out during the Under-23 Colonel CK Nayudu Trophy final between Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh. The umpire’s decision caught the attention of fans after Karnataka opener Prakhar Chaturvedi was caught by the on-field umpire, although wicket-keeper Aradia Yadav Aaradhya Yadav) has apparently given the ball away. The incident occurred during the first morning session when Chaturvedi tried to block Shubham Mishra’s delivery for a boundary.
However, the ball slipped down the leg side and Prahal got only the slightest edge.
There was a strong appeal from the UP players to go behind and the referee raised his finger while Aaradhya was busy picking the ball from the ground.
One fan took to social media to point out the bizarre incident and question the “standard of officiating” on the domestic circuit.
The fan urged the BCCI to investigate the matter and punish the referee.

Some users even called for goalkeeper Yadav to be banned from cheating.
The wicketkeeper should be banned from playing cricket for two years.
