[WATCH]: Pant asks DC batsmen to comeback after “No ball controversy”, video goes viral

Rishabh Pant

The Delhi Capitals wasn’t happy with the umpires for not giving Rajasthan Royals’ bowler Obed McCoy’s above the waist ball a no-ball on Friday, April 22 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

In the penultimate over of Obed McCoy, Rovman Powell started the over with a six. The next two balls were also gone for sixes.

But the 3rd ball was huge, as McCoy delivered a full-toss on the middle to Rovman Powell. Powell smacked it over mid-wicket for a big hit. At the same time, Powell was asking for a no ball as the ball seemed to be above his waist line. But the umpire didn’t give it and so the drama started.

The drama seemed like gully cricket as the whole Delhi’s pavilion were asking for a no ball and Rishabh Pant then started asking the batsmen to come back. He then sent a team management guy to speak to the umpires.
