After Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Piyush Chawla were ruled out of IPL 2020, Rishabh Pant is going to miss a week of IPL 2020 after he injured his hamstring during a game against the Rajasthan Royals on October 9.

Delhi Capitals captain Shreyas Iyer confirmed the news during ain interview with broadcaster Star. “I spoke to the doctor and he said he [Pant] is going to be resting for a week. Hope he comes back strongly after this break”, he said.

In the last match against Mumbai Indians, the DC team lost the game by five wickets. Rohit Sharma proudly flaunted his team’s contribution and the momentum that they are carrying from the last few matches. “Really pleased how we have played in the first half of the tournament. Perfect day for us. We did everything right today. We bowled really well, then clinical with the bat. Not so much in the end but we will take it. We have always spoken of the importance of one set batter till the end because he knows the conditions. That is one thing we need to tighten. Again I don’t want to go too much into this. Chasing has not been that good this tournament, but the way we did it, it gives us confidence that we can chase any target”, he said in the post-match presentation.

Although DC had set a target of 162 runs, Iyer felt they were 10-15 runs short and a total of 170-175 would have sealed the game in their favour. “We really missed out when Stoinis got out, he was hitting the ball really well and also seeing the ball like a football, that was the main error that we did and something that we really need to work on”, he said.
