Twitter reacts to hilarious umpiring conundrum in Ranji Trophy final
The Ranji Trophy final has been quite eventful with C Shamshuddin walking off the field leaving KN Ananthapadmanabhan to umpire from both ends and a stand-in official umpiring at square leg. Now, TV umpire S Ravi has joined the field as a makeshift arrangement until Yashwant Barde joins in tomorrow.
Ouch, that must hurt!

Umpire Shamsuddin, who wasn't officiating in the first session due to an injury, has taken up the role of the third umpire now.
S Ravi, who is officiating as a third umpire in this match, is now being used as an on-field umpire.
This is hilarious
