Umpire rejects bowlers appeal john cena style: Many times such moments come to the fore in cricket, seeing which fans are unable to stop laughing. A similar case has come to light from the Caribbean Premier League 2023, in which WWE star John Cena’s famous action is seen reaching the cricket pitch.
Guyana Amazon Warriors (GAW) captain Imran Tahir faced the on-field umpire with the first ball of his spell during the ongoing Caribbean Premier League (CPL 2023) Qualifier 1 against Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR). Created a hindrance, after which the umpire made the famous John Cena signal ‘You can’t see me’, seeing which even Imran Tahir was surprised.
This is the whole matter
Actually, Tahir came on the attack in the fifth over of TKR’s innings. Mark Dayal tried to play a slog sweep on the very first ball. However, the ball hit the pad directly. Interestingly, there was a huge appeal from the experienced spinner, but the on-field umpire was not able to take the decision. According to him, Tahir came forward after throwing the ball and obstructed the vision. Due to which he could not see. The GAW captain immediately opted for DRS and eventually managed to swing the result in his favor with ball-tracking showing three reds.
