What’s the controversy all about?

This video came just after an earlier controversy surrounding the toss in the 25th match between RCB and Mumbai Indians (MI). A video circulating online showed match official Javagal Srinath seemingly flipping the coin after picking it up from the ground, raising questions about the fairness of the toss process.

While some dismissed the initial video as fake, du Plessis’ conversation with Cummins, captured in the new clip, seems to lend credence to the allegations. The video has gone viral on social media, sparking outrage and demanding transparency from the IPL governing body.

Neither the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) nor the IPL officials have commented on the matter so far. Cricket fans are eagerly awaiting a response to address the growing concerns about the integrity of the toss process in the IPL.
