A no-ball controversy arose in the match where Rishabh Pant, Shardul Thakur, and Pravin Tamre (coach) were seen breaching the IPL Code Of Conduct and have been fined.
What Happened Between Rishabh Pant And Umpires
Delhi Capitals required 36 runs off the final over. Rovan Powell was in good form and with his brute strength, hit Rajasthan Royals Obed McCoy for 3 sixes in a row requiring 18 from 3 balls.
The situation got worse when the third delivery was over the waistline and the umpire called it a legal delivery. According to the rule of cricket, any ball above the waistline is considered a no-ball.

When the third ball was given a legal delivery and the umpires were not referring to the third umpire, Pant lost his cool. The DC skipper asked Powell and the nonstriker Kuldeep Yadav to walk off the pitch.
Following an argument between two on-field umpires and batters, Pant sent assistant coach Pravin Amre onto the field after threatening to call his players off.
After the match, Pant said “I thought the no-ball could have been precious for us. I thought we could have checked that no ball but it’s not in my control. Yes, we are disappointed, but can’t do much about it. Everyone on the ground saw that. I think the third umpire should have intervened in between and said it was a no-ball, but I can’t change the rule myself I guess.”
