Rishabh Pant’s decision to not take a review against Tim David after he nicked the first ball of his innings proved to be a decisive moment in MI vs DC match. In a do-or-die battle for Delhi
Capitals, skipper Rishabh Pant’s decision to not take a review against Mumbai Indians batter Tim David after he nicked the first ball proved to be the biggest turning point as DC were
eliminated from IPL 2022 . Delhi needed a win in their last league encounter to qualify for the playoffs but they suffered a five-wicket defeat with Mumbai chasing down a 160 run target
with five balls to spare. Advertisement With MI at 95/3 in 14.3 overs, David edged the first ball of his innings off Shardul Thakur. The on-field umpire gave him not out and Pant went along
with the decision. However, he was soon seen shaking his head in disappointment after watching the replays on the giant screen. Talking about the incident after the match, Pant said: “I
thought there was something. Everyone standing in the circle wasn’t convinced and at the end I didn’t go up.” David went on to score 34 off 11, hitting four sixes. He brought down the
equation to 15 off 14 balls before Ramandeep Singh finished the job for Mumbai. The Mumbai batter was also asked about the incident after the match. He said: “I heard a noise but I wasn’t
sure, but when they didn’t review, I thought let’s crack on, that’s how the game is.” Advertisement Reflecting on the loss and the season, Pant added: “For most of the game we were on top.
On occasions, we let the game slip away from our grasp when we were on top. That’s what we were doing throughout the season. Not good enough to win this match I guess. It’s not about
pressure. We could have done better execution and planning. Learn from mistakes and come back stronger next year.” Advertisement Delhi’s defeat allowed Royal Challengers Bangalore to qualify
for the playoffs as the four-placed team. _READ ALL THE LATEST NEWS **,** TRENDING NEWS **,** CRICKET NEWS **,** IPL LIVE SCORE , IPL 2022 SCHEDULE , IPL 2022 POINTS TABLE AND
