Rishabh Pant missed important IPL 2024 clash against RCB due to suspension

Delhi Capitals (DC) have entered the field without their captain Rishabh Pant for their IPL 2024 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).

He has been forced to sit out after being suspended for one match by the IPL governing council for maintaining slow over rates in a couple of games. DC management filed an appeal to challenge the decision, but it was in vain, as the judgment was upheld.

"The appeal was referred to the BCCI Ombudsman for review. The Ombudsman conducted a virtual hearing and affirmed that the decision of the Match Referee remains final and binding," the IPL release stated.

In Rishabh's absence, Axar Patel is leading the Delhi Capitals against the RCB side at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru tonight. It is a crucial game for both sides to keep their playoff chances afloat.
