Rishabh Pant, the captain of the Delhi Capitals, isn’t having the best of luck in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022.
Pant was penalized 12 lakh for sustaining a slow over-rate against Lucknow Super Giants at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday, after yet another struggle with the bat and DC’s second loss in the tournament in three matches.
“The Delhi Capitals have been fined as they sustained a slow over-rate during their TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 encounter against the Lucknow Super Giants on April 7 at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai,” the IPL said in a statement.
Pant was only fined the bare minimum because it was the team’s first offence for slow over-rate.
“As it was the team’s first offence of the season under the IPL’s Code of Conduct relating to a minimum over-rate offences, Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant was fined a total of Rs. 12 lakhs,” according to the announcement.
Rishabh Pant in a post-match presentation:
“You can’t complain about the dew, but as a batting unit, we were 10-15 runs short. Avesh and Holder, to their credit, pulled it back in the end. We were talking about giving 100 per cent till the final ball of the 40th over, no matter what happened [during his pre-second-innings conversation with the squad].”
“The powerplay was good; we didn’t get any wickets, and our spin attack performed admirably in the middle overs, but we fell 10-15 short in the end “Rishabh Pant quoted
Quinton de Kock’s magnificent 80-run knock and Ayush Badoni’s quick 10 runs helped Lucknow Super Giants win by 6 wickets in a last-over thriller.
