Jos Buttler scored his third century of the season but Rajasthan Royals' thrilling win over Delhi Capitals was overshadowed by farcical protests over an umpire's call on a high full toss in the final over.
Delhi Capitals needed 36 runs to win off the final over against the Rajasthan Royals, but when Rovman Powell smashed two sixes off the first two balls, the Rishabh Pant-led side started to believe. On the third delivery of the over, Rajasthan pacer Obed McCoy bowled a full-toss and Rovman dispatched it for another six. However, the Delhi Capitals thought that it was a no-ball and the players started gesturing from the dugout. Soon after that Pant was seen gesticulating to the two batters come off the field.
The IPL 2022 clash between Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals descended into complete chaos on Friday over on-field umpires' decision to not give a no-ball for a waist-high full-toss. Delhi Capitals players and support staff were convinced that it was no-ball but the umpires didn't budge and it resulted in chaotic scenes with tensions threatening to boil over. DC captain Rishabh Pant was seen gesticulating at his two batters to walk off the field while assistant coach Pravin Amre entered the field of play to speak to the on-field umpires.
Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals clash on Friday as the dramatic events overshadowed an epic 15-run Royals victory. And at the centre of the ugly scenes were the on-field umpires -- Nitin Menon and Nikhil Patwardhan, who faced the wrath of the Delhi Capitals outfit and the fans inside the stadium for what looked like a no ball gaffe. The final-over no ball controversy that shook the cricketing world last night is now officially the first major controversy of the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League.
A disappointed Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant said the third umpire should have "interfered" to check for a possible waist-high no-ball in the dramatic final over of their IPL match against Rajasthan Royals as it proved "precious" for his team. Pant had called back his batters -- Rovman Powell and Kuldeep Yadav -- after the umpires did not check the delivery for a possible no-ball in the last over as DC lost the match by 15 runs.
Rajasthan Royals' (RR) Skipper Sanju Samson said that the umpire's refusal to check a no-ball in the final over of their thrilling match against Delhi Capitals (DC) was very clear and he stuck to his decision. Jos Buttler's 116-run knock and Prasidh Krishna's three-wicket haul (3 for 22) helped Rajasthan (222 for 2) beat Delhi (207 for 8) by 15 runs in a high-scoring match at the Wankhede Stadium. With 36 runs needed in the last six balls, DC batter Rovman Powell hit sixes off the first two balls of the over bowled by left-arm pacer Obed McCoy. On the third ball, he again hit a full toss for a maximum and that delivery, according to Delhi Capitals' captain Rishabh Pant and their team management, should have been called a no-ball.
IPL 2022 produced yet another thrilling contest as Rajasthan Royals took on Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Friday. Rajasthan Royals emerged victorious by 15 runs with Jos Buttler hitting his third century of the ongoing season. But the match made headlines for all the wrong reasons as emotions threatened to boil over after umpires didn't give what Delhi Capitals players and support staff thought was a waist-high no-ball. The match descended into complete farce as DC captain Rishabh Pant gesticulated wildly at the umpires. At one point, it even seemed that Pant was asking the two batters at the crease -- Rovman Powell and Kuldeep Yadav -- to return to the dug out. One of DC's assistant coaches Pravin Amre even stormed the field to speak to the umpires.
The final over of the match between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals witnessed high drama as Rishabh Pant and company were left fuming for what they deemed was a no-ball but not given by the on-field umpire. In the final over, Delhi Capitals needed 36 to win and Rovman Powell had smashed sixes on the first three balls. However, the third delivery of the over became a huge talking point. Rajasthan Royals pacer Obed McCoy bowled a full-toss and Powell had smashed it for a six. Delhi Capitals camp thought it was a definite no-ball and started gesturing towards the umpire for it to be called a no-ball.
