Skipper Rishabh Pant then asked his batters — Powell and Kuldeep Yadav to walk out and assistant coach Pravin Amre stepped on to the playing arena to speak to the umpire.
“To be honest, I was pretty confident (at hitting six sixes in an over). After I got the first two, I was like what can happen from here, and then I got the next one. I was just hoping that it was a no-ball, but the umpire’s decision is final, and we as cricketers take that and move on.”
In the six innings this season, Powell has scores of 0, 20, 3, 8, 0 and 36.
Speaking about his current form, Powell said, “It felt good. I’ve been searching for that for the last few games, and it’s finally good to see a few come out in the middle. It’s just for me to take the confidence from that game leading up to the rest of the matches, and just transfer it to the next phase of the competition.”
Delhi are currently seventh on the points table with three wins in seven outings.
The Capitals will take on Kolkata Knight Riders in their next match at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday.
