A ‘confusing clip has surfaced on the social media from the KKR-KXIP match that was played in Mohali on Friday. At the toss of that match, KXIP skipper Murali Vijay made the call when the coin was thrown up for a spin by Gautam Gambhir. (Fixtures | Squads)
Gambhir flipped the coin and Vijay called ‘heads’ as it was heard. The match referee Amit Sharma said ‘tails’ which meant Gambhir won the toss.
But Amit Sharma pointed towards Murali Vijay as the coin toss winner.
Here’s what happened during the encounter.
