IPL 2022: Rishabh Pant's actions during no-ball controversy 

The no-ball controversy happened during the last over of the match with DC needing 36 runs from the final over. Rovman Powell hit three successive sixes from the first three deliveries off RR pacer Obed McCoy's delivery, keeping DC's hopes alive in the match. RR still needed 18 more needed from the final three deliveries. However, DC batter Kuldeep Yadav demanded the third ball to be checked for no-ball due to height. Powell also was seen having a chat with the umpires, however, they decided to stand their ground saying the delivery was legal.

However, DC skipper Rishabh Pant was unhappy with the call and gestured towards both the batsmen at the crease - Powell and Kuldeep Yadav to come out. The match was brought to a halt to sort out the issue and after it resumed after a long delay, DC fell short of the target, handing RR the victory in the nail-biting encounter.
