The level of umpiring in the ongoing Test series between India and New Zealand was widely criticized. Many times the decisions were changed due to DRS, but apart from this many wrong decisions also came to the fore. Although there was bad umpiring at one place, the extent to which umpiring can be fun, got to see its sight. The style of this umpire was such that everyone wants to see this umpire officiating. Sharing a video of this funny umpiring on his Twitter account, senior England cricketer Michael Vaughan has jokingly demanded to include this umpire in the ICC’s elite panel.
This video going viral on social media is of Purandar Premier League. Where the match was taking place between Bhiwari Blasters and Kedepathar Kings. In the very first over of the match, when the Kings team was batting, the bowler bowled a ball wide. Instead of spreading both his hands like a normal umpire, this umpire stood on his head and spread both his legs wide. Anyone who saw this was left laughing.
Surely we need to see this chap join the ICC Elite panel .. ???????????? pic.twitter.com/FcugJBgOEn

This umpire was famous for his unique umpiring throughout the league. Apart from this match, in another match when the batsman hit the boundary, the umpire indicated as if Govinda himself was officiating while dancing.
