5. When The Umpires Forgot About The Ball in IPL 2018

In an IPL game between Kings XI Punjab and Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2019, the ball wasn’t to be found after a strategic time-out was taken in the 14th over of the first innings when RCB were batting.

The fourth umpire came out with a fresh box of balls only to find that one of the onfield umpires had kept the ball in his pocket during the break and completely forgot about it. The culprit was Indian umpire Shamshuddin who realised that he had the ball in his pocket after seeing replays on the big screen. 

The game was finally won by RCB on the back of an AB De Villiers 82-run knock. This was one of the most hilarious incidents to have ever happened in the IPL.
