There have been a plethora of occasions on the cricket field when a batter gets upset after being dismissed by the bowler, and it happened to the Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper, Rishabh Pant during the game against CSK. Pant, after playing a breezy knock of 21 off 10 balls, got an under-edge off Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder, Moeen Ali before the ball found the leg stumps.
DC was chasing a mammoth target of 209 against CSK on Sunday in Match 55 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai. They failed to get a desired start to the chase as they lost their premier opener, David Warner inside the Powerplay.
Rishabh Pant and Mitchell Marsh then staged a counterattack against the CSK bowlers, taking them to 72/2 in 7.2 overs before Marsh was dismissed by Moeen Ali. But then in the ninth over, Moeen probably gave DC the decisive blow.

Moeen Ali bowled a length ball outside of stump, and Rishabh Pant tried to cut the ball on the back foot. However, it only found an under-edge before the ball went crashing on the leg-stump. Pant, batting on 21 off 11 balls, looked so good against the spinners, but he looked disappointed at the crease after being dismissed in such a fashion. CSK, with the dismissal, triggered a collapse and eventually bundled out DC for a meager score of 117.

Rishabh Pant is not captain material he should play as a player freely it will be his natural game David Warner should get captaincy from next season #DCvsCSK

Rishabh Pant just wasted an opportunity to tame a T20 game. No 50 this season yet for someone batting at No.4 #CSKvDC ,copied from vikrant gupta 😂😂
