<p>Delhi Capitals power hitter Rovman Powell was hoping that the controversial third delivery of the final over against Rajasthan Royals be called a no-ball for height as he felt confident to smash six sixes in a row.</p>
<p>The West Indian, however, wants to concentrate at the games ahead rather than think about the past.</p>
<p>Needing 36 runs for a win off the final over, Powell hit three successive sixes from the first three deliveries, including the third ball which was a hip-high full-toss from Obed McCoy, to bring the equation down to 18 runs from the final three balls.</p>
<h2>Focus on future games</h2>
<p>However, the DC camp demanded that the third ball be called a no ball for height but the umpires stood their ground, saying the delivery was legal.</p>
<p>Skipper Rishabh Pant then asked his batters&mdash;Powell and Kuldeep Yadav to walk out and assistant coach Pravin Amre stepped on to the playing arena to speak to the umpire.</p>
<p>&ldquo;It is something we have to put behind us very fast. We have a lot of games coming up, and we have no time to dwell in the past,&rdquo; Powell was quoted as saying in a media release.</p>
<p>&ldquo;You know, we have to always look to the future because some important games are coming up. Important games for us to win to qualify for the next round of the competition. We have no time to sit and think about what happened in the past,&rdquo; said the West Indian.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The game had resumed after a 15 minute break and Powell reiterated assistant coach Shane Watson&rsquo;s comments that the umpire&rsquo;s decision is final.</p>
<h2>Six sixes in sight</h2>
<p>&ldquo;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&rsquo;s decision is final, and we as cricketers take that and move on,&rdquo; he said.</p>
