The DRS Drama:
In a moment of confusion, veteran pacer Ishant Sharma delivered a wide ball down the leg side, prompting LSG batter Devdutt Padikkal to attempt a clip towards square leg. Umpire Pandit initially ruled it a wide delivery, but Pant’s apparent call for a DRS from behind the stumps led to a referral being made, resulting in DC losing one of their two reviews. The incident, caught on camera, triggered a lengthy discussion between Pant and the umpire, creating a stir on the field. Amidst the confusion, a debate ensued between Pant and the umpire, with the wicketkeeper indicating that he may not have intended to review the decision. However, television replays revealed Pant’s unmistakable gesture for a review, despite his apparent lack of acknowledgment towards the umpire. The prolonged discussion, lasting nearly five minutes, disrupted the flow of the game before play eventually resumed at the Ekana Stadium.
