Rishabh Pant, the captain of Delhi Capitals (DC), has been banned for a match. A whopping INR 30 Lakh fine was imposed on him after the DC team’s slow overrate was revealed during their last match against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 edition.
It was a supplement of code that transgressed the IPL code of conduct, which Pant violated. Consequently, he will probably be sitting in the stands at his team’s match between DC and RCB, which will take place in Bangalore’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium. The suspension is even more important for DC than the announced results of the present match, as the defeat would take the team out of the cup.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed that the Delhi Capitals (DC) had submitted an appeal to the Match Referee’s decision; however, it was also the final word of the BCCI Ombudsman that the appeal was rejected. The FINAL AND ONCE FOR ALL BINDING CALL OF THE MATCH REFEREE. Pant’s role has been definitive of DC’s rebirth, not only does he stand as the leading character but also perfectly carries his job.
They game against GT, DC’s captainship of Pant was extraordinary as the team bowled out their opponents for the mere 89 runs which gave him the title of the player of the Match. With 5 points after their opening match, DC is evenly placed with CSK and LSG. Now that DC only has two games left, with RCB’s match included, a successful result is imperative if the team wants to progress further.
