The IPL season is surely turning out to be a more heated one than ever. There has been so much going on this season already.
Rishabh Pant and company had a match to forget at the Wankhede Stadium against the Rajasthan Royals as Delhi were edged out in a thriller by 15 runs, on Friday.
Powell made the match interesting as in the final over when Delhi needed 36 off six deliveries; he blasted sixes off the first three deliveries, raising hopes of hitting six sixes to seal a dramatic victory.
He hammered his third six of the 20th over off a delivery that they argued should be no-ball on height. The umpires ruled it a legal delivery, leading to the Delhi Capitals bench erupting in anger, gesticulating furiously while a staff member rushed into the field to argue with the umpires.
The crowd too was chanting cheater, cheater.
In the end, the umpires stuck to their guns. In the end, Rajasthan Royals won the match by 15 runs.
Brief scores: Rajasthan Royals 222/2 in 20 overs (Devdutt Padikkal 54, Jos Buttler 116, Sanju Samson 46 not out; Mustafizur Rahman 1/43) beat Delhi Capitals 207/8 in 20 overs (David Warner 28, Prithvi Shaw 27, Rishabh Pant 44, Rovman Powell 36; Prasidh Krishna 3/22, R Ashwin 2/32) by 15 runs.
