I traveled enthusiastically during a pandemic, did 6 days of quarantine & 5covid tests with a smile but that one short run hit me hard. What's the point of technology if it cannot be used? It's time @BCCI introduces new rules. This cannot happen every year. #DCvKXIP @lionsdenkxip https://t.co/uNMXFJYfpe

I don't agree with the man of the match choice. The umpire who gave this short run should have been man of the match.

IPL is a battle of fine margins. Short run, missed no ball … Bade bade tournaments mein chhoti chhoti baatein hoti rehti hain. Credit to Rabada and Stoinis who snatched victory from the jaws of defeat! #DCvKXIP pic.twitter.com/xARr6PFNZY

Former cricketer Akash Chopra also tweeted that it was not a short run. It should have resorted to technology. What would happen if Kings XI Punjab could not reach the final four by just 2 points?
One short that was not. Technology must take over in these cases ….. but that's possible if only the third umpire spotted it in time. What if #KXIP don't make it to the final four by 2 points ?? Tight # IPL2020 is likely to be … https://t.co/juCLU375jg
