IPL 2017: Umpiring GOOF-UPS continue, David Warner plays extra ball

Indian Premier League 2017, SRH v MI: Umpiring malfunction has been plaguing this Indian Premier League, with David Warner being the latest beneficiary

Sunrisers Hyderabad was playing at the iconic Wankhade stadium, taking on the home side Mumbai Indians. Mumbai Indians won the toss and opted to field, playing along with trends. David Warner, who is the captain of the side and one of their biggest players in the Orange army.

David Warner and Shikhar Dhawan were off to a rather slow start with the run-rate hardly breaching 6 in the first 6 overs of the match. As we speak, SRH set MI a tricky 159. SRH would have felt they were 30 runs short of where they would have wanted to be. The openers got set and gave it away at crucial junctures which was a big drawback in their innings.

Here is what happened: 

5.5: Bumrah to Warner, FOUR! Warner placed a moving delivery to the left of a chasing third man. No power there, all timing. Warner just used the pace from Bumrah.

Sneaky move tonight, @davidwarner31 hits a boundary off the last ball of the 6th over & faces first ball of the 7th over. #Anyonewatching

6.1: McClenaghan to Warner, 1 run, full on the stumps, Warner tried to hoick it to long on, but ended up skying the ball to the leg side. It reached long on in one bounce.

Warner played the last ball of the 6th over…hit a boundary. And then played the 1st ball of the 7th over. How on earth is that possible???
