NEW DELHI: Rishabh Pant, the skipper of Delhi Capitals, expressed his belief that his one-match suspension likely cost the team a spot in the IPL playoffs. Pant stated that had he been on the field, DC would have had a better chance of winning the crucial game.
Pant was sidelined for the must-win clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on Sunday due to a one-match suspension imposed on him for a third slow-over rate offense. The absence of Pant proved detrimental as DC not only lost the game but also suffered a 47-run defeat, impacting their net run rate.
