RR vs DC 2024: Watch Video: Rishabh Pant’s Bat-Smashing Frustration Sparks Controversy

The Delhi Capitals’ (DC) IPL 2024 campaign has gotten off to a rocky start, marked by two close defeats in a row. Their latest loss came against the Rajasthan Royals (RR), and it was Captain Rishabh Pant’s dismissal that seemed to be the tipping point.
During the chase, things were looking promising for DC. Openers Mitchell Marsh and David Warner had built a strong foundation. However, Pant’s crucial wicket, followed closely by Warner’s dismissal, left a lot of runs to be scored for victory (81 runs needed with wickets falling).
As Pant walked back to the dressing room, his frustration became clear. In a moment captured on video, Pant slammed his bat into the nearby sight screen with force. This outburst has been widely shared and discussed on social media.
