Former Australia wicketkeeper-batter Adam Gilchrist wasn’t too impressed with Pant’s antics throughout his animated chat with the umpire.
While suggesting that Pant must be fined for his behaviour, Gilchrist additionally slammed the umpire for failing to take care of the scenario.
The former Punjab Kings (then Kings XI Punjab) captain felt that the umpire must be given extra authority to take care of the gamers.
“I saw another example tonight where umpires need to take better control of games, and that is in any format. They just got to do a better job at moving things forward. There was a dispute over whether Rishabh had reviewed it. Okay, there was a miscommunication over the review call. But they stood there and spoke about that for 3-4 minutes. It’s a very simple conversation, I believe. No matter how much Rishabh is complaining or any other player is complaining, umpires should just say, ‘it’s over’ and quickly move on. But if he keeps talking, he should get fined,” Gilchrist stated on Cricbuzz.
Coming again to the match, Australian batter Jake Fraser-McGurk smashed a half-century on his IPL debut as DC defeated LSG by 6 wickets.
Fraser-McGurk and Pant (41) shared 77 runs for the third wicket to place DC in charge of the 168-run chase.
The 22-year-old smashed 5 sixes and two fours earlier than falling to Arshad Khan on 55.
This was simply DC’s second win of the season and it took them out of the underside of the 10-team factors desk.
