The 34th match of the Indian T20 league 2022 has become the talk of the town because of the last over no-ball controversy. The match was a run-fest in which Rajasthan batted first and posted a total of 222 runs on the board. Delhi while chasing the target found themselves requiring 36 runs off the last six balls.
As Rovman Powell slammed two sixes off the first two deliveries of the final over, it was the third ball of the over that saw some unpleasant scenes on the field. Bowler Obed McCoy bowled a waist height full toss that was slammed for a six by Powell, but the umpire did not call a very evident no-ball. This infuriated the Delhi camp and the skipper Rishabh Pant was looking to call off his players. He also sent the assistant coach Parvin Amre on the field to argue their case. The match ultimately resumed and Delhi lost the competition by 15 runs.
However, the action from the Delhi camp has led the tournament authorities to fine the individuals involved. Rishabh Pant, Shardul Thakur and Pravin Amre have been fined heavily, while Amre has also been banned for a match.
