IPL 2024: Rishabh Pant accidentally calls for DRS during LSG vs DC contest, argues with umpire later
IPL 2024: Rishabh Pant accidentally calls for DRS during LSG vs DC contest, argues with umpire later - WATCH
It was all chaos on Friday (April 12) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as Delhi Capitals’ skipper Rishabh Pant stole the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Pant, who is playing his first season back in the IPL after a near-fatal car accident, was spotted taking an accidental DRS call and later arguing with the umpire. The incident left everyone surprised while opposition fans of Lucknow Super Giants in the stadium did not believe what transpired on the field.
Pant calls for DRS, then argues with umpire
On the fourth ball of the fourth over, Ishant Sharma’s delivery went past batter Devdutt Padikkal which was called wide by umpire Rohan Pandit. Immediately, Pant signaled for a DRS within the 15-second window which was spotted by the on-field umpire. Upon the signal, the umpire decided to call for DRS to check for wide ball. However, in an embarrassing moment, Pant would approach the umpire to withdraw the DRS call stating that the signal was for one of his fielders.
After a brief conversation and replays suggesting Pant had called for DRS, his argument with umpire Bapat did not stand. The ball was checked for wide after the DRS was upheld upon which it was confirmed that it was a wide ball. This resulted in DC losing a review while arguments between Pant and Bapat continued.

Batting first, LSG made a decent start to their innings as skipper KL Rahul (39) and Quinton de Kock (19) got the home side going. However, it was after De Kock’s dismissal that things went horribly wrong for LSG as they were reduced to 94/7 with a quick fall of wickets. Marcus Stoinis (8), Devdutt Padikkal (3) and Nicholas Pooran (0) all disappointed with the bat leaving LSG in sixes and sevens.
Ayush Badoni (unbeaten 55) and Arshad Khan (20) would then lay the foundation for a comeback in the contest as LSG put 167/7 on the board in their 20 overs. Kuldeep Yadav was the pick of the bowlers for DC having ended with figures of 20/3 while Khaleel Ahmed ended with 41/2 in his four overs.
