Bengaluru FC owner, Parth Jindal, on Sunday, said that he will write to the All India Football Federation (AIFF) for using Video Assistant Referees (VAR) in the next Indian Super League (ISL) season, to cut out “erroneous” calls by referees.

Just saw the highlights - @UdantaK goal was not offside at all - @nishukumar22 should have had a penalty - really tough to take this loss - will officially write to AIFF to use VAR next season in the @IndSuperLeague

Jindal was referring to Udanta’s goal, which was disallowed by the referee, who had red-flagged him for an offside. He was also referring to Nishu Kumar, who could have had a penalty, after he was brought down by Inigo Calderon, inside the box. Replays suggested that the decision could have gone the other way.
