A player mishits the ball because of sweat present on the ball and claims a Let. Should the Umpire call a Let or award a point to the opponent because it was noticed after the rally?

Hi Uday,

The umpire can call a let  up it is up to them.  Most of the time the players will see that there has been sweat on the ball and will concede and call it a let.
