DC vs RR: It was not even close - Rishabh Pant calls out no-ball decision after DC loss

Pant was not having any of it in the post match conference and repeatedly pointed out the umpire’s mistake in the final over of the game.

A frustrated Rishabh Pant gave an explosive interview in the Indian Premier League, at the end of the game calling out the umpire's decision in the final over of the game.Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals on Friday night was ran over by a no-ball controversy in the final over of the chase as DC felt that they were robbed by the umpire.“It was not even close,” Pant said, speaking about the no ball decision in DC’s 15 run loss against Rajasthan Royals. He went on stating that the third umpire should have interfered in the incident and should have checked the whole scene.

Asked about if it was right to send a support staff onto the pitch to talk to the umpire, the frustrated DC captain quipped that while it was not correct to send someone in, it was not correct as to what happened to them as well.The situation in the DC game went a little out of hand, after Rovman Powell deposited his third six from the first three balls of the final over while chasing 36 runs. DC felt hard done by the umpires on a waist-high no ball decision, which they clearly thought would be in their favour.After that did not come to pass, Pant called his players back in the dugout, signalling that they were ready to walk away from the game. Thankfully, Powell and Kuldeep Yadav did not go through with that, else the entire team could possibly have copped heavy fines on the day.As things stands, RR have gone to the top of the table after their 15-run win and DC are placed at sixth with 6 points to their name.
