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.

Delhi Capitals were left fuming after the on-field umpires did not call a possible no-ball on the third delivery of the final over against Rajasthan Royals in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. The players led by Rishabh Pant first gestured towards the batters -- Rovman Powell and Kuldeep Yadav to walk back to the dugout and then assistant coach Pravin Amre came out to the middle to have a word with on-field umpire. Former India pacer RP Singh has said that this entire incident "sets a wrong example" and something like this should never happen.

Dinesh Karthik has arguably been the best finisher in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. With a tally of 210 in eight matches, while batting in the lower order, he has been Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) most impactful player. His consistent performances and powerful big hits has led to the speculation about the 36-year-old making a comeback to the Indian cricket team with the T20 World Cup, scheduled to be held in Australia later this year. His strike-rate of 200.00 in the IPL 2022 so far has led many to believe that he will be the ideal candidate for the role of the finisher in the Indian team.
