After Mitchell Starc's No-Ball Controversy, Fan Highlights Vignesh Puthur's Back-Foot No-Balls Went Undetected During MI vs KKR IPL 2025 Match; Raises Questions Over Umpiring Standards

The introduction of technology has somewhat eased the pressure on umpires in cricket. However, this reliance on technology can lead to standards dropping, which has been the case in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, as highlighted by a fan on social media. Mitchell Starc's no-ball during the DC vs RR IPL 2025 match has been a point of debate, where, upon the bowler's back foot touching the return crease, the umpire called his delivery illegal, and rightly so. But, during MI vs KKR IPL 2025 at Mumbai, Vignesh Puthur escaped both the on-field and the TV umpire, on multiple occasions, for having been called for a no-ball twice on successive deliveries for overstepping the return crease.

The MCC clearly states that the back foot of the bowler should not touch the return crease during his bowling stride for the ball to be deemed a fair delivery, and not called a no-ball.
