Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant was involved in an argument with the on-field umpire over a DRS call during the IPL 2024 game against Lucknow Supergiants on Friday. The incident followed apparent confusion over Pant’s review decision. During the fourth over of LSG’s innings, Ishant Sharma bowled a ball down the leg side against Devdutt Padikal. The umpire signaled wide but Pant quickly went for a review. Replays showed it was a wide but Pant was not happy and the commentators believed he was insisting he did not ask for a review.

There was a lengthy exchange between the umpire and Pant but various replays shown by the official broadcaster made it clear that Pant had indeed signaled the review.

Legendary India batsman Sunil Gavaskar felt it was a possibility that Pant was making the gesture to seek advice from a teammate, but the umpire thought it was an official review.

However, Pumi Mbangwa and Deep Dasgupta said that Pant was actually unhappy with the umpire not checking the sineometer during the review as the DC captain believed that the umpire should check an edge to make the decision. Should have checked whether it was wide or not.
