The match between the Delhi Capitals (DC) and the Rajasthan Royals (RR) ended in a thrilling last over. Pravin Amre, the batting instructor, came onto the pitch to dispute the umpires about a no-ball call.
Ben Cutting, an Australian all-rounder, has already said he will have lost his temper if he had been at the crease during the incident.
Cutting told ESPNcricinfo that the on-field umpire made a mistake by not calling a waist-high full-toss on the third ball of the final over as a no-ball. DC, on the other hand, he believes, should not have objected in this manner and should have handled the situation after the game. He stated, ”
“If I had been the hitter, I would have been enraged and would have thrown both barrels at the umpires. Unfortunately, that call was incorrect, and if it had been done correctly, it could have been beneficial to the game.”
“But, regardless, you must persevere and deal with the situation after the game. The way it was handled once the call was made, and they said they weren’t going upstairs to overturn it, that was the end of the decision because they weren’t going to reverse it from there.”
‘For someone to come onto the field like that was extremely embarrassing’: Ben Cutting
Rishabh Pant, the captain of the Delhi Capitals, was spotted asking batting coach Pravin Amre to get on to the pitch and communicate with the umpire. Ben Cutting believes the situation should have been stopped and has branded it as shameful.
Ben Cutting continued, “It was a letdown how things turned out. Up until the last couple of balls, it had been a very excellent game of cricket, and it was quite embarrassing for someone to come onto the field like that.”
RR are presently in first place in the points standings, having won five of their first seven games. DC, on the other hand, has only three victories in seven games and is currently sixth in the rankings.
