Delhi Capitals skipper, Rishabh Pant will not play today’s IPL match after being suspended for one match for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct. His side maintained a slow over-rate during the match against Rajasthan Royals in Delhi on May 7. It was Pant’s third over-rate penalty this IPL. As a result, he will miss DC’s crucial fixture against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday.
Why is Rishabh Pant not playing?
