During the upcoming Indian Premier League 2024, the Delhi Capitals, captained by Rishabh Pant, will be competing against the Lucknow Super Giants, led by KL Rahul, on Friday at Ekana Stadium. Both teams are fighting for their very existence.
Rishabh Pant argues with umpire over review call
An incident that occurred when the match was going in DC’s favor irritated Rishabh Pant, and he became quite dissatisfied with the outcome. It was even observed that he was engaged in a lengthy disagreement with one of the on-field umpires before the playback of the incident, which caused a significant amount of confusion.
Rishabh Pant had requested a review for a wide ball that occurred during the fourth over of the match. Ishant Sharma had bowled a wide down the leg side against Devdutt Padikkal, and the on-field umpire quickly gave it a wide. Rishabh Pant submitted his request for a review.
The captain of the Capitals, dissatisfied with the umpire’s decision, engaged in a heated dispute with the umpire.
According to the commentary box, it was first determined that Rishabh Pant most likely did not want a review before the announcers aired a replay of the game.
As uncertainty grew, Sunil Gavaskar, a former captain of India, concluded that the player deciding whether or not to take the review most likely directed it towards the fielder in the middle of the off
Former cricket players Pommie Mbangwa and Deep Dasgupta voiced their dissatisfaction with the absence of a Snickometer to determine whether or not there was an outside edge.
While this was unfolding, they eventually established that the on-field umpire had not committed any wrongdoing, and DC couldn’t overturn the decision.
The following over bowled by Khaleel Ahmed resulted in the dismissal of LSG’s Padikkal for only three runs. Immediately after this, Kuldeep Yadav took two wickets in a row, each of which was a consecutive ball.
When playing against DC in the Indian Premier League 2024, LSG won the toss and decided to bat first. LSG had reached 121/7 in 16 overs when the last report came in, despite the fact that the DC bowlers had been dominating the game from the very outset.
