Rishabh Pant, Shardul Thakur fined, Delhi assistant coach Pravin Amre gets one-match ban

Mumbai/IBNS: Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant and fast bowler Shardul Thakur have been fined 100 percent and 50 percent of their respective match fee after their faceoff with the umpire during an Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Rajasthan Royals on Friday night.

Delhi assistant coach Pravin Amre has been fined 100 percent of his match and has also been banned for a match.

Former cricketers have slammed Delhi Capitals' young captain Rishabh Pant for allegedly displaying bad sportsmanship by calling back his two batsmen after a decision by the on-field umpire was found out to be a mistake.

The incident happened in the last over of the match when Delhi needed 36 runs.

Rovman Powell, who had hit three back to back sixes, was caught hitting a ball (read no ball), which was above his waist.

However, the umpire gave no "no ball" signal infuriating Pant, who urged Powell and his partner Kuldeep Yadav to return to the dugout.

As the two headed to the dugout, the umpire stopped and asked them to stay.

The incident has triggered sharp reactions from the cricket greats who have called out Pant for allegedly poor sportsmanship.
