IPL 2022: Rishabh Pant, Shardul Thakur fined, Pravin Amre banned for one game after no-ball controversy
Pravin Amre, Rishabh Pant and Shardul Thakur reprimanded by IPL.
The clash between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) was marred with a huge controversy after Rishabh Pant & Co. protested against a controversial no-ball call by the on-field umpire in the dying moments of the game. The DC trio of Pant, Shardul and Amre has been reprimanded by the IPL Governing Council over a breach of the Code of Conduct.
The incident happened during the final over Delhi Capitals' 223-run chase against Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. DC's Rovman Powell was out in the middle with Kuldeep Yadav with the team requiring 36 runs to win off the last six balls. Powell slammed three consecutive sixes off the first three deliveries from pacer Obed McCoy before the fast bowler bowled an above waist-height full toss.
It was a waistline no-ball but the on-field umpire adjudged it a legal delivery leaving the Delhi Capitals camp fuming. While skipper Pant was seen quite animated in the dugout, Shardul was also spotted objecting to the decision. However, things took a dramatic turn when Pant sent DC's assistant coach Pravin Amre on the field to talk to the umpire and protest against the no-ball decision.
Amre stormed onto the field and was seen having a discussion with the on-field umpire. Pant, Amre and others were widely criticised by many on social media for their unwarranted actions. While several former cricketers and experts felt that the umpire should have checked with the third umpire for the no-ball, they also felt Pant's actions were uncalled for.
