Delhi Captain Shreyas Iyer gives clarity on Rishabh Pant’s injury.
Delhi Capitals fans might have surprised on seeing Alex Carry keeping the wickets in place of Rishabh Pant.
Pant did not play against Mumbai as he got an injury on Friday and he is unlikely to play the next game against Rajasthan Royals as well.
After the post-match ceremony on Sunday against Mumbai Indians, Delhi captain Shreyas Iyer has informed about Pant’s injury and said that Rishabh needs a week’s rest.
It indicates that he will not be available for the next game, which will happen in a couple of days.
Delhi Capitals made two changes to their final combination against Mumbai with Alex Carey as the wicket-keeper and Ajinkya Rahane in place of Shimron Hetmyer.
It was a surprise decision by the captain as Hetmyer played a match-winning knock against the Royals.
Delhi certainly missed Rishabh’s fireworks as they posted only 162 runs in the end.Shikhar Dhawan top-scored with his 69 not-out in 52 balls.Mumbai Indians chased down the target easily with two more balls to spare.
Quinton de Kock was awarded the man of the match.
