No ball controversy: DC’s Rishabh Pant, Shardul Thakur and assistant coach Pravin Amre fined after RR clash

Surely fans and critics believe that the no-ball controversy could be avoided if only the on-field umpires would have asked for a review from the third umpire, however, with them being adamant, things did not go in favour of the Delhi Capitals (DC), who lost the match against Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 15 runs.

The wrong decision by the umpires had even left the DC dugout furious and fans saw skipper Rishabh Pant along with other players and coaching staff get on the field and argue which has now led to them breaching TATA Indian Premier League’s (IPL) Code of Conduct.
