"Sets A Wrong Example": Former India Pacer On Delhi Capitals' Behaviour In Final Over vs Rajasthan Royals

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.

Rishabh Pant's captaincy has certainly played a huge role in his redemption and Kuldeep Yadav finds shades of the great Mahendra Singh Dhoni in his current Delhi Capitals skipper's characteristics as he enjoys his new-found "freedom of expression". The 27-year-old Kuldeep has taken 13 wickets in this IPL so far, including a four wicket haul against his former team Kolkata Knight Riders. "I feel Rishabh is showing a few glimpses of MS Dhoni's characteristics behind the stumps. He guides well and stays calm on the field," he said during the fourth episode of The DC Podcast. "Wicketkeepers play a big role in the success of spinners. The credit for my performance in this IPL goes to Rishabh as well. We have a good understanding now." The Uttar Pradesh spinner, who was bought by DC at the IPL mega auction, said the freedom and security that he got from his new franchise helped him to perform this year. "When you are given the freedom to express yourself then you start to enjoy everything," said Kuldeep, who played for KKR for seven years from 2014 to 2021.
