Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant was seen arguing with the umpires on the field for a long time.
The 26th match of IPL 2024 is being played between Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals at Ekana Stadium. In this match, Rahul won the toss and decided to bat first. Lucknow had a bad start and the team lost the wickets of two of its batsmen in the power play itself. Apart from this, once again there was an uproar in the match regarding DRS. Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant was seen arguing with the umpires on the field for a long time.
Why the uproar over DRS?
Actually, fast bowler Ishant Sharma was bowling the fourth over of the innings for Delhi. Devdutt Padikkal was batting in front of him, when a ball from Ishant went across Devdutt’s leg pad, which was declared wide by the umpire. After this, DRS was taken from Delhi side on this ball that it was not wide and the field umpire referred the decision to the third umpire. But after this Pant was seen arguing with the field umpires for a long time.
Just Rishabh Pant things 🐐♥️

Pant said that he did not give any indication about taking DRS so why are you going to DRS third umpire. On this the umpire was seen saying that you had indicated to take DRS. After this, when the replays were seen, it became clear that Pant had indicated for DRS. Due to this, Delhi also had to lose this DRS, because the ball was wide.
