There were some defending the batsman suggesting that he wasn’t interfering in any way with the ball. Furthermore when some fans called him a cheat, there were some defending him. The mixed opinions surely got a lot of attention from the fans.

Let’s see if he can win an IPL title soon or not. The big teams will want to add him to their squad for better stability for sure.
