Almost three weeks after Faf du Plessis’ allegation and a social media outrage, coin toss controversy struck IPL 2024 yet again in the KKR vs MI match on May 3.
According to a video that went viral, MI skipper Hardik flipped the coin high over his head which landed far behind the ones present at the toss. The allegation made against Srinath was that in picking the coin up, he switched sides to favour Mumbai.
However, on Friday, during the match between Mumbai and Kolkata Knight Riders, the match referee picked up the coin even before the camera could zoom in on it. Hardik bizarrely tossed the coin high in the air as KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer called.
And as soon as the coin landed, the referee picked it up, and revealed that Hardik won the toss, thus not allowing the cameraman to show it to the viewers, leading to a fresh controversy on social media.
