Dinesh Karthik praises Ricky Ponting's acumen, questions umpiring standards in BBL 2020

The former Kolkata IPL franchise's captain has been regularly tweeting his views on the Test series Down Under and the BBL 2020. Recently, Karthik praised former Australian captain Ricky Ponting who rightly predicted about Prithvi Shaw's weakness on air during the first Test and moments after the youngster was dismissed in the same fashion by Mitchell Starc.

Karthik was also extremely vocal about his views on poor umpiring in the BBL 2020. During Match 12 of the BBL 2020 on Tuesday between Sydney Thunder and Perth Scorchers, umpire Simon Lightbody made a decision which left everyone shocked. The Scorchers pacer Andrew Tye who came in to bowl the sixth over of the innings struck on the very first ball of his spell as he got Usman Khawaja to nick one to the keeper.

The entire fielding team including the bowler and the wicketkeeper were convinced that Usman Khawaja had edged it, however, Lightbody was firm that the bat had hit the ground and he gave it not out. Melbourne Stars captain Glenn Maxwell was infuriated with the umpiring error. The Australian all-rounder took to Twitter after the game and lashed out at poor umpiring in the tournament and questioned the absence of DRS.
