Rajasthan Royals defeated Delhi Capitals by 15 runs on Friday. It was a close game but the last over drama became a huge subplot in the game’s proceedings. In this article, we take a look at how Twitter reacted after Rishabh Pant halts the game and sends the coach onto the field due to a wrong umpiring call.
Last over drama on Friday as Pant halts the game
After a terrific penultimate over by Prasidh Krishna, DC needed 36 runs off the final over. Rovman Powell scored three sixes and hence, his team was in the game. However, the third ball was above waist height and the umpires did not refer it. Pant halted the game and even sent a coach on the field. This led to a big controversy.

It was a massive decision by Pant to halt the game at that point in time. Twitter was brim with multiple reactions and we take a look at a few of them in the below section:

Just came back home watching KGF and looks like Pant's about to start chapter 3 on the pitch.

It was Powell all over Mccoy but then mastermind Pant decided to delay the game a bit & shifted the momentum for RR ๐๐

Pant may have been a bit cranky but there was no reason for the umpire to not refer it for no ball.. specially, in final over and a tight match..
