The BCCI has suspended Rishabh pants for a game because of slow, over-the-top offense in IPL 2024. The Delhi capitalsThe (DC) captain will miss the league match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on May 12. Rishabh was not only banned but also fined Rs 30 lakh. “As it was Rishabh Pant’s team’s third attack this season IPLRishabh Pant has been fined Rs 30 lakh and suspended for one match due to the IPL’s Code of Conduct relating to minimum overage violations,” the IPL said in a statement.

“The remaining members of the playing eleven, including the Impact player, have been individually fined either Rs 12 lakh or 50 per cent of their respective match fees, whichever is less.”

As per BCCI rules, a captain will be fined Rs 12 lakh for the first over-speeding offence. For the second offence, he will be fined Rs 24 lakh. The captain will be fined Rs 30 lakh and banned for one match if his team fails to bowl complete overs in the stipulated time for the third time in a season.

Rishabh’s first overrate attack came against Chennai Super Kings on March 31. On April 3, DC failed to complete their overs against Kolkata Knight Riders for the second time.

During the home game against Rajasthan Royals on May 7, DC again maintained the slow over rate. They were also penalized in the final over and had only four players outside the crease.

Rishabh’s absence is a big blow for DC as they need to win the remaining two games to qualify for the playoffs. With 6 wins from 12 games, DC is in fifth place in the points table. They have to win the remaining games and then hope that the results of the other games go in their favor.

RCB also urgently needs a win and will give everything in the home game. The match will be played on May 12 from 7:30 pm IST.

Who will lead Delhi Capitals in Rishabh Pant’s absence?

David Warner seems to be the frontrunner to lead DC against RCB. The former DC captain has been out of action since April 20th. He missed a few games due to injury, but is out of action for now. DC does not have an experienced activist like Warner who can lead the team in Rishabh’s absence.

Therefore, they might be forced to bring Warner into the starting lineup. He captained DC in Rishabh’s absence in IPL 2023. They failed to qualify for the playoffs.
