Today match umpire name IPL 2022: What is today IPL match third umpire name?

Today match umpire name IPL 2022: Two Indian umpires are officiating in today’s IPL 2022 match between GT and PBKS.

During the 16th match of the ongoing 15th season of the Indian Premier League between Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, fans were left in splits when the on-field umpires referred a potential run-out appeal by the GT fielders to the third umpire.

It happened during the 4^th Over of the first innings, with GT being invited to bat first post losing the Toss.

Hardik Pandya bowled a short delivery outside the off stump to Jonny Bairstow, to which the latter set off for a quick single after tapping the ball towards the covers.

A sharp David Miller stationed at the region, was quick onto the ball to come up with an under arm throw diving forward to hit the stumps.

The umpire went upstairs for a decision on the matter. However, the fans were very much intrigued to know who the third umpire was, after he started his conversation with the broadcasters in a voice which very much resembled to the legendary Sachin Tendulkar.
