Rishabh Pant reveals why he did not take DRS against MI!

Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals clashed in the IPL yesterday (21.05.2022).

If Mumbai wins this match, Bangalore will advance to the play-off round. On the other hand, if the Delhi team wins, they will advance to the play-off round.

Thus, before the start of the match, there was a lot of anticipation among the fans of the Bangalore and Delhi teams.

Excitement at the last stage

Subsequently, Delhi, who batted first in the match, were 159 for 7 at the end of 20 overs. After this, Ishan Kishan and Brevis added stunning runs to the Mumbai team towards the target. However, there was a stir in the last over as some wickets fell in the middle.

Tim David changed the match

As the Delhi team had a chance to win, so did the competition. As it was, Mumbai batsman Tim David scored 34 off 11 balls, with 4 sixes, and the match was still shifting to the Mumbai side. In the last over, Mumbai won with 5 balls to spare. Thus, Bangalore qualified as the fourth team to miss the play-off round opportunity of the Delhi team.

Decision taken by Delhi team

But one thing about Tim David's wicket, which was the turning point in the match, is currently causing a lot of controversy. The first ball that Tim David faced hit the bat at first. To appeal to the Delhi players out, the umpire refused to give out. Subsequently, the Delhi team took the opportunity to do DRS but did not take advantage of it. Then in the replay Tim David knew exactly what had happened.

What did Rishabh Pant say?

Perhaps, if the Delhi team had taken the DRS, Tim David would have been out and the Delhi team would have had a chance to win and advance to the play-off round. However, Delhi captain Rishabh Pant did not take up the DRS, causing a great deal of controversy. Rishabh was asked about this after the match.

Speaking on the occasion, Rishabh Pund said, " I thought there was something but everyone standing in the circle was not convinced enough. So I was asking should we go up. At the end, I didn't take the review." Many cricket celebrities have commented on Rishabh Pant not taking DRS.
