Mumbai Indians were penalised with a no-ball after a breaking a little-known rule during the IPL 2025 match against Delhi Capitals on Wednesday.
During the third delivery of the fifth over, Will Jacks was bowling to Vipraj Nigam when the umpire decided to signal no-ball. The reason behind the decision was the fact that there were just three fielders on the off-side for MI.
According to the official IPL Match Playing Conditions in section 28.4.1, there should be no more than five fielders on the on-side. “At the instant of delivery, there may not be more than 5 fielders on the on side,” reads the playing conditions.
