IPL 2021: Rishabh Pant slams DC fielding- After suffering a seven-wicket loss against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021, Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant said that his side paid the price for displaying poor fielding throughout the game.
Srikar Bharat and Glenn Maxwell played unbeaten knocks of 78 and 51 respectively as RCB defeated Delhi Capitals by seven wickets at the Dubai International Stadium. On the last ball, RCB needed five for a win, and Bharat ended up hitting the ball for a six. “We know how important fielding is in T20s. If you field the way we did, you deserve to lose. We also lost too many wickets while batting. But we will have to field better next time, I guess,” Pant told host broadcaster Star Sports after the game.

“It was difficult for the fast bowlers with the dew, but the fielding has to support the bowling unit. We are not feeling great because you want to win these kinds of matches,” he added.
