Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant lost his cool during the last over of his team’s run chase against Rajasthan Royals in an IPL 2022 match at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Friday. Delhi Capitals needed 36 runs in the last 6 balls. Rovman Powell of Delhi Capitals hit three consecutive sixes. Obed McCoy’s third ball looked like a waist-high full toss, but he was not given a no ball on high.
After this, both the batsmen on the field demanded the umpires to check the no-ball. The on-field umpires turned down the demand. After an argument between the two batsmen and the umpires on the field, Rishabh Pant, sitting in the dugout, gestured and called Rovman Powell and Kuldeep Yadav out of the field. Delhi Capitals coach Praveen Amre gestured for a ‘no-ball’ check. After this, at the behest of Pant, Amre reached inside the field to convince the umpires.
Meanwhile, there was a little argument between Rajasthan Royals opener Jos Buttler and Pant, who was fielding at the boundary line. Butler was upset that Pant asked the players to be called off the field. The match was halted for some time due to this high voltage drama. Somehow the matter settled down.

what does the rule say
The rule is that when a batsman is out on a full toss ball then only the third umpire can check the no ball. If a full toss ball is hit for a six and there is a demand by the batsmen to check the no ball, it cannot happen. The third umpire can only check the front foot no ball in this situation.
It’s all part of the game: Rishabh Pant
after the match Rishabh Pant “I think he bowled well, but Rovman Powell had turned the match in our favor somewhere,” he said. The third umpire or anyone else should have checked that no-ball. It is very unfortunate for this to happen. However, it is a part of the game. I would tell my players not to overthink and prepare for the next match.
