Prior to the match, Delhi Capitals’ normal captain Rishabh Pant will not be available for the match against RCB since the Indian Premier League has suspended the ace wicketkeeper batsman for one game for continuing to maintain a slow over-rate.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 matchup between Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru will take place soon. On Sunday, May 12, the 62nd match of the tournament will take place at Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium between the two teams.
Given that DC is still in the running for the playoffs, Pant’s absence may be a huge loss for the team. Specifically, DC may suffer if Rishabh Pant misses their match against RCB. Mike Hesson, the former coach of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, expressed a similar view, saying that DC will struggle to beat Bengaluru without Pant.
“I believe that both teams are really confident going into this match. With two games remaining, RCB is riding high after four victories. You know, DC has probably won three of the previous four. Hesson said to JioCinema, “And they are, you know, playing some very good cricket.”
Rishabh Pant will therefore be missed. That is, in my opinion, a huge loss.
Axar Patel will captain, um, not participate in this game. And in my opinion, that will be where the two sides diverge. Therefore, I believe RCB will elude detection. They’re quite confident right now, and that home fans will definitely pull them along, he continued.
In addition to receiving a one-game suspension, Backbone was fined INR 30 lakh for his team’s over-rate infraction during their most recent match against the Rajasthan Royals. It is important to note that Pant’s contributions have been essential to the Delhi Capitals’ IPL 2024 comeback.

The team started the season with a number of losses, but after making some lineup adjustments and adding Abhishek Porel and Jake Fraser-McGurk to the top order, DC has been clicking on all cylinders. They will be hoping that their current form can continue when they play RCB.
