A player may stay composed throughout their career, but at times they lose their cool over questionable umpiring decisions. A notable instance occurred during the Irani Trophy match between Mumbai and the Rest of India, where Ajinkya Rahane was seen disputing a dubious LBW call with the umpire.

‌In response to Mumbai's imposing first innings total of 537 runs, bolstered by Sarfaraz Khan's remarkable double century, Rest of India showed resilience. Abhimanyu Easwaran showcased his exceptional skills, scoring an impressive 191 runs and narrowly missing his double ton. Ultimately, they were bowled out for 416 runs, leaving Mumbai with a lead of 121 runs.

In their second innings, Mumbai started strongly, with Prithvi Shaw contributing 70 runs off 85 balls. However, following the dismissals of Ayush Mhatre and Hardik Tamore, Ajinkya Rahane fell victim to a contentious LBW decision.

On the last ball of the 25th over, Manav Suthar bowled a full, straight delivery that angled into the pads. Rahane attempted a paddle sweep but completely missed the ball. The Rest of India team vocally appealed, and on-field umpire Khalid raised his finger to signal an out. After a brief discussion with Shaw, Rahane opted for a review. The replays confirmed three reds, indicating a clear out, leading to Mumbai losing their review as Rahane was forced to head back to the pavilion. As he left, Rahane conversed with the umpire, suggesting the ball had edged the bat. However, brief replays of the dismissal revealed a significant gap between the bat and ball at the moment of impact, which likely influenced the third umpire’s decision to disregard Rahane’s claim. This unfolding drama captured the attention of the Twitterverse, igniting discussions across social media.
