DC vs GT: David Warner Misses Rishabh Pant
View this post on Instagram
David Warner’s post on Instagram shows how much the team misses their ex-captain. Pant has been an instrumental figure in the Delhi Capitals’ success over the years, and his absence has left a void that is hard to fill. While it is understandable that Pant is recovering from an injury, his presence in the team would have undoubtedly given the Capitals a much-needed boost.
The Delhi Capitals had a low start to their IPL campaign this year. They lost their first game against LSG. The team’s performances were inconsistent, and they struggled to find their rhythm. With Pant away, the team’s batting order has been shuffled, and the captaincy responsibilities have fallen on David Warner’s shoulders.
David Warner has been a successful captain in the past, leading the Sunrisers Hyderabad to their maiden IPL title in 2016. While he has been a reliable batsman for the team, his captaincy has come under scrutiny, especially after the team’s loss against Lucknow Super Giants.
Impact of Rishabh Pant’s Absence
The Delhi Capitals lost by 50 runs against Lucknow Super Giants, and it seems like Pant’s absence was felt deeply by the team. Pant, who is currently recovering from the injury, is known for his excellent batting, keeping, and captaincy skills. He led the team to the final in the 2020 IPL season and has been a crucial member of the team ever since.
Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals is gearing up to lock horns with the defending champion Gujarat Titans. The match will be played at DC’s home ground (Arun Jaitley Stadium) in Delhi on April 4. DC will look to bounce back against GT, after the defeat in the first match. Whereas, GT will be full of confidence coming into this match as they have defeated four-time champion Chennai Super Kings.
