Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant has been handed a one-game ban after breaching the slow over-rate law for the third time. With this ban, Pant will not feature in the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Delhi Capitals game. As Axar Patel is set to captain DC. Ahead of this clash, Rishabh Pant shared a cryptic tweet on Instagram. Posting a story on Instagram, he said. “The only thing we have power over in the universe is our own thoughts.”
Will Pant’s absence pour water on DC’s playoff dreams?
Speaking about the RCB vs DC clash, this is without question a do-or-die game for the DC and the RCB as well. Since there is an indication that rain is going to affect this game. It will be interesting to see how it will disrupt the game if it gets washed out. Rain will make things worse for both DC and RCB. Since Rishabh Pant is not playing, it surely makes things difficult for DC as far as batting is concerned.
Since the Chinawasmy is known as a batting paradise, hitters like Pant can utilize the surface the most if he can play. Still, it will be interesting to see how DC moves forward. With 2 games left, DC is in the 5th spot. DC can crawl to 16 if they win both. Which means their dream of entering the top 2 is extremely slim. If they want to enter the top 4, they can do it if they win both games and also wish that CSK lose at least one game.
