Why Rishabh Pant argued with the on-field umpire
Fighting for the survival in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2024, Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals is facing KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants on Friday at Ekana Stadium.
In the fourth over of LSG’s innings, Pant was seen asking for a review for a Ishant Sharma wide ball down the leg. It was confirmed as wide later but Pant, however, got into an argument with the umpire with the commentators speculating that the DC captain was insisting that he did not ask for a review.
In IPL 2024, he has scored with an average of 79.75 and a strike rate of 141.77. His highest score so far is 113 not out. In contrast, his role in international cricket usually sees him in other batting positions, where he has opened only nine times but still managed a high strike rate of 161.29
Pant had called for a review for a wide ball on the 4th over of the match with Ishant Sharma bowling a wide down the leg side against Devdutt Padikkal, as the on-field umpire immediately gave it a wide.
