IPL 2022: Angry Ricky Ponting is seen arguing with fourth umpire - full details!

In the 15th IPL series, two matches were played on Sunday (10.04.2022).

In the first match, Delhi beat Kolkata. Subsequently, Rajasthan beat Lucknow in the second match and advanced to the top in the points table.

In the match between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders, Kolkata won the toss and elected to field.

Warner - Prithvi Action

Accordingly, the Delhi team, which started batting, was aggressively involved in the run-scoring from the start. The team's openers Prithviraj Shah (51) and Warner (61) were the top scorers. In the end, Shardul Thakur was also involved in the run chase, with Delhi scoring 215 for 5 at the end of 20 overs.

Following on, Kolkata were bowled out for 171 in the last over. Thus, the Delhi team won by 44 runs and was in disarray. Kuldeep Yadav, who led the team to victory by four wickets, won the Man of the Match award.

Angry Ricky Ponting

Meanwhile, during the match, Ricky Ponting, the coach of the Delhi team and a former player of the Australian team, suddenly got angry with the referee and the incident caused a stir. Kolkata's Umesh Yadav bowled the 19th over while Delhi were batting.

Thakur and Axar Patel were batting then. At this point, Ricky Ponting, who was outside, suddenly put his hand up and gestured, trying to say something to the fourth umpire who was standing outside. But the umpire reportedly did not answer Ricky Ponting's question correctly. As a result, Ponting approached him and began shouting in anger.

What is the reason?

Though the reason is unknown, it is said that Ricky Ponting may have appealed to the fourth umpire for the ball to be bowled by Umesh at that time. Similarly, it is said that Ponting may have discussed with the umpire how the Kolkata team stopped the fielding.

For some reason, videos of Ricky Ponting arguing with a fourth umpire are now going viral.
