RR beat DC Highlights – Delhi Capitals No-Ball Controversy: What exactly happened?
- The incident took place in the last over of the game, as Delhi Capitals needed 36 runs to win from the last 6 deliveries.
- Hard hitter Rovman Powell smacked 3 back-to-back sixes off the first three deliveries and ignited hope in the DC camp of pulling off an astounding victory.
- However, the third delivery which went for a six was a full toss delivery by Obed McCoy which was targetted at the body of Powell and thus was assumed to be a no-ball by the Dc camp.
- Trouble broke out when the umpire decided not to signal it a no-ball. The entire DC camp started to fume.
- On the rare occasion of a rush of blood to the head, skipper Rishabh Pant decided to bring his batters back to the dugout. Pant threatened to forfeit the match and asked both Powell and Kuldeep Yadav to come out of the field.
- Pravin Amre came on to the field to have a word with the umpire while Shane Watson was seen calming down an infuriated Pant. These certainly are bizarre scenes that have occurred rarely in cricket.
“I thought the no-ball could have been precious for us. I thought we could have checked that no-ball, but it’s not in my control. Yes, disappointed, but can’t do much about it. Everyone was frustrated because it was not even close, so I thought it was only a no-ball. Everyone on the ground saw that. I think the third umpire should have intervened in between and said it was a no-ball, but I can’t change the rule myself I guess, “ said Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant in the post-match presentation ceremony.
Assistant coach Praveen Amre entered the field to request umpires to go to the third umpire but the on-field umpires Nitin Menon and Nikhil Patwardhan did not budge.
“Obviously it wasn’t right, but what happened with us was also not right. It was just the heat of the moment, can’t do much about it. I think it was the fault of both the sides, not even only for us because throughout the tournament we have seen some good umpiring. I thought we could have done pretty well from there I guess. It hurts more when you go so close, especially in a match when the other team has scored 220 runs, but I feel we could have bowled a little better. It’s part and parcel of the game. I can only tell them to have their chin up and prepare for the next one right now, “ said Rishabh Pant on Pravin Amre going onto the field.
This was Delhi Capitals’ fourth defeat in seven matches and they are now in sixth place in the IPL points table. Rajasthan Royals have won their fifth match out of seven and they have now gone to the top of the table.
