Delhi Capitals failed to review a golden opportunity to dismiss Kolkata Knight Riders' Rinku Singh.
Delhi Capitals (DC) missed a golden opportunity to dismiss Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter Rinku Singh during their IPL 2025 match in Delhi on Tuesday.
In the fourth ball of the 14th over, Axar Patel launched a full length ball wide down the leg to Rinku Singh.
However, the wide was not called for and replays in fact showed a spike on UltraEdge when the ball was closer to the bat. Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel had appealed for the caught behind but the wicketkeeper Abishek Porel did not feel that it was out. Delhi Capitals eventually decided against going for the review.
It was Vipraj Nigam who eventually dismissed Rinku Singh for 36 runs in the 18th over. Rinku Singh was caught by Mitchell Starc at long-on. Rinku Singh played an entertaining knock, wherein he slammed three fours and a six.
