[Watch] Rishabh Pant gets out for just 1 run in MI vs DC IPL 2024 match
Delhi Capitals (DC) captain Rishabh Pant failed to deliver against Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 clash at Wankhede Stadium on Sunday (April 7).
For the unversed, the left-handed player walked in when the Capitals required 91 off the last 30 balls but departed for just one run off three balls. The 26-year-old looked impatient as his team needed over 18 an over.
The dismissal came during the 16th over of DC's run-chase. Pant yorked himself off Gerald Coetzee's delivery as he tried to manufacture a shot. The southpaw was in an awkward position for a scoop shot and only ended up slicing it sky-high to his counterpart Hardik Pandya at extra cover.

Interestingly, Pant walked at No. 5 as DC promoted Abishek Porel to the 3rd slot. The left-hander looked decent for 41 off 31 balls but failed to score at the required run rate as his team fell behind in the chase.
