IPL 2022: Was confident of hitting six sixes against Rajasthan Royals but umpire's decision is final, says Powell

Delhi Capitals power hitter Rovman Powell was hoping that the controversial third delivery of the final over against Rajasthan Royals be called a no-ball for height as he felt confident to smash six sixes in a row. The West Indian, however, wants to concentrate on the games ahead rather than think about the past. Needing 36 runs for a win off the final over, Powell hit three successive sixes from the first three deliveries, including the third ball which was a hip-high full-toss from Obed McCoy, to bring the equation down to 18 runs from the final three balls.
