Following the Delhi Capitals’ protest during their match against the Rajasthan Royals on Friday, team captain Rishabh Pant and assistant coach Pravin Amre have been fined their entire match fee.

In the last over of the match, on-field umpires did not call for no ball on a delivery that was allegedly over Delhi batter Rovman Powell’s waist.

Angered by the umpires’ refusal to refer the decision to the third umpire, Pant called his batters back to the dugout in protest. He then sent Amre onto the field to argue Delhi’s case with the umpires.
