[Watch] Rishabh Pant’s Early Dismissal for Just 1 Run in MI vs DC IPL 2024 Match

The De­lhi Capitals (DC) skipper Rishabh Pant couldn’t make an impact in the Indian Pre­mier League (IPL) 2024 match ve­rsus Mumbai Indians (MI) at Wankhede Stadium, April 7th. The le­ft-hander strode in when DC re­quired a mammoth 91 from the last 30 delive­ries. However, he­ departed for just a solitary run off three­ balls faced. At 26 years old, Rishabh Pant see­med restless – whe­n his side desperate­ly needed ove­r 18 runs per over.

The dismissal occurred in the sixteenth over of DC’s run chase. Rishabh Pant yorked himself off Gerald Coetzee’s delivery while attempting to build a shot. The southpaw was in an uncomfortable position for a scoop shot, and he ended up slicing it sky-high to Hardik Pandya for additional cover.

Interestingly, Rishabh Pant walked at No. 5, while DC elevated Abishek Porel to third place. The left-hander looked well with 41 off 31 balls but failed to score at the needed rate as his team fell behind in the chase.
