In a bizarre incident during an Indian Premier League (IPL) match at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Ayush Mhatre faced an unusual challenge when both of his bats failed a gauge test. This occurred after the dismissal of Sanju Samson, who scored seven runs off seven balls. The first bat did not pass the gauge, and when Mhatre switched to a second bat, it also failed. The situation escalated when the umpire realized he was holding the gauge incorrectly, leading to the first bat eventually passing the test. Commentators Ian Bishop and Michael Clarke provided humorous commentary, with Clarke famously exclaiming, 'Oh my god!' The incident not only created a moment of tension but also amusement among fans, who took to social media to share their reactions. Past controversies involving bat tests in the IPL were also recalled, adding context to this light-hearted yet nerve-wracking moment.
