Rajasthan Royals all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin on Friday said that the last over of the match against Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai was 'topsy-turvy'. Jos Buttler's 116-run knock and Prasidh Krishna's three-wicket haul helped Rajasthan Royals beat Delhi Capitals by 15 runs in a high-scoring match at the Wankhede Stadium.
Former India captain and legendary batter Mohammed Azharuddin on Friday criticised the Delhi Capitals after the no-ball controversy in the 19th over of their innings which saw captain Rishabh Pant asking the batters to walk off the field. "Bad sportsman spirit on display by #DelhiCapitals Cricket is a game of gentlemen and this behaviour is completely unacceptable. #IPL20222 #DCvsRR," tweeted Azharuddin.
Jos Buttler is having a dream run with the bat for Rajasthan Royals in the ongoing season as he has already smashed three centuries. His first ton came against Mumbai Indians and the second was against Kolkata Knight Riders. His latest ton came against Delhi Capitals on Friday and this performance helped the Royals move to the top spot in the points table. Buttler's performance has helped Rajasthan post big scores on the board consistently. Buttler is the current holder of the Orange Cup in the ongoing season with 491 runs from seven games and he would hope to continue with his performances. The England wicketkeeper-batter has named two players, one each from the past and current era, as his dream opening partners.
Rajasthan Royals' (RR) opener Jos Buttler, who scored a scintillating 116 runs off just 65 balls against Delhi Capitals (DC) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match on Friday, said it was a 'special' knock and he is enjoying the best form of his life. Buttler was named the 'Player of the Match' for his brilliant knock that included 9 fours and 9 sixes. The English batsman's third ton of this IPL season and Prasidh Krishna's 3 for 22 helped Rajasthan Royals (222 for 2) beat Delhi Capitals (207 for 8) by 15 runs in a high-scoring match at the Wankhede Stadium here on Friday.
Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant has been fined 100 per cent of his match-fee for breaching the Indian Premier League (IPL) Code of Conduct during his team's game against Rajasthan Royals at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, an official release stated on Saturday. Pant admitted to the Level 2 offence under Article 2.7 of the IPL Code of Conduct and accepted the sanction. Pant's teammate and all-rounder Shardul Thakur has been fined 50 percent of his match-fee for breaching the Code of Conduct.
MUMBAI (Reuters) - Jos Buttler scored another Twenty20 century to power Rajasthan Royals to the top of the Indian Premier League table but Friday's 15-run win over Delhi Capitals was overshadowed by farcical protests over an umpiring decision in the final over.
Delhi Capitals (DC) doesn't stand for what happened in the last over against Rajasthan Royals (RR), asserted assistant coach Shane Watson, adding that the players have to accept umpire's decision and it is completely "unacceptable" for someone to enter the field of play. Drama ensued in the RR's 15-run win over DC on Friday when the third delivery of the final over, a hip-high full-toss from Obed McCoy, was whacked by Rovman Powell for a six but the Delhi camp demanded it be called a no-ball for height. It started with Kuldeep Yadav, who was at the non-striker's end, gesturing to the umpires to check for a possible no-ball on height. Powell joined in having a chat with the umpires too. But the umpires stood their ground, saying the delivery was legal.
