IPL 2024: Rishabh Pant to miss all important DC match on Sunday

Rishabh Pant gets suspended by BCCI due to slow over-rate

Rishabh Pant has made a big comeback in IPL 2024 after two years of absence from cricket. He recovered completely from his accident and performed well for Delhi Capitals. He scored 413 runs with an average of 41.30 and a strike rate of 156.44. He scored 3 half centuries with 88 not out as his highest score. He did not perform at this level in 2021 and 2022 seasons.

DC has given captaincy back to him as he announced his comeback. In IPL 2024, DC has improved their performance and they have a chance to get qualified for IPL Playoffs. Now, BCCI has decided to suspend Rishabh Pant for one match due to slow over rate. Already, he has been warned twice and as DC repeated it for third time, Pant has been suspended.

This is a huge blow for DC against RCB on Sunday. As he cannot play, the team has to replace immediately with a Indian player who can give as good performance as Pant. For now, they have announced Axar Patel as captain for the Sunday match. RCB is on a roll by winning 4 back to back matches and looking to win this for improving their chances to qualify.

DC needs to win this match for keeping themselves alive in this competition. If they lose this one, they would be eliminated as they can go only upto 12 points and GT, LSG, CSK, RCB will have chance to reach 14 points to qualify to Playoffs. Can DC overcome his absence and big change in middle-order batting line-up? We have to wait and see.
