It looks like Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant might face stringent action after yet another game where a slow-over rate was maintained. DC clinched a convincing 10-run victory over MI at the Arun Jaitley stadium in Delhi. Pant was previously fined twice (Rs 12 lakh + Rs 24 lakh) for the same offence and he is likely to be banned for one game if found guilty this time.
Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya to face action?
“For the third and each subsequent offence by the Team in a Season, the Designated
Captain will be fined Rs. 30 lakh and banned from playing in the Team’s next Match,
irrespective of whether the Designated Captain formed part of the playing XII (i.e., playing
XI and Impact Player) for such Match,” the IPL rules state.
Hardik Pandya also faces the risk of being fined Rs 24 lakhs, if found guilty. The MI skipper has already been penalized once previously for the same offence.

Who won DC vs MI IPL 2024 game?
Delhi Capitals secured a convincing 10-run victory against Mumbai Indians at the Arun Jaitley stadium in Delhi. With this win, DC move above CSK on the IPL 2024 points table. It all started with Jake Fraser-McGurk’s blitzkrieg in the powerplay as DC batted first in the game. The Australian narrowly missed out on what would have been a well-deserving century. Shai Hope and Tristian Stubbs joined the party and ensured that DC amassed a huge total.
Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan failed to fire and were dismissed early in the run-chase. Suryakumar Yadav, the impact player, couldn’t make any impact either. Tilak Verma put up a fight till the end, but couldn’t get his side across the line as the DC bowlers managed to keep MI batters in check.
