IPL 2023: Rishabh Pant, the Delhi Capitals’ (Delhi Capitals) regular captain, is now sidelined with an injury and won’t play in the IPL in 2023. From that point on, the Delhi team hung his jersey over the top of the dugout during their first matchup with the Lucknow Super Giants. But, the BCCI officials weren’t pleased with the Capitals’ gesture.
Some think it is a little excessive because such gestures are only acceptable in the event of an absolute tragedy or retirement. It is known that the decision to display Pant’s jersey in the DC camp was made by head coach Ricky Ponting.
“That felt a little excessive. Such a gesture is saved for the worst-case scenario or retirement. It was neither in this instance. Rishabh is significantly closer to recovery than anyone anticipated. Although it was done with good intentions, it has been learned that BCCI has kindly asked the franchise to refrain from making similar gestures in the future,” according to an IPL source quoted by The Times Now.
Pant is present at Delhi’s opening IPL 2023 home game.
The southpaw Rishabh Pant made his debut for Delhi Capitals against Gujarat Titans in the team’s first home game of the year (GT). The 25-year-old used crutches to get to the game even though he was having trouble walking and was seen waving to his supporters.
In the meantime, Delhi lost against Gujarat Titans by six wickets and was eliminated from the tournament. They batted first and scored 162 runs thanks to Axar Patel’s outstanding effort. Particularly, captain David Warner and Prithvi Shaw once again had trouble getting going, and Delhi must address a lot of issues before their forthcoming match against Rajasthan Royals on April 8.
Anrich Nortje, an expert bowler, gave them a wonderful start with his bowling, but Sai Sudharsan, batting at number three, produced some outstanding cricket to take the game away from DC. The 21-year-old helped GT win the game and move to the top of the IPL points standings by scoring 62* runs off of 48 deliveries.
