Summary
Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant has been penalised for maintaining a slow over-rate during their match against Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on May 7.
Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant has been fined ₹30 lakh and suspended for one match for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct. The team was accused of maintaining a slow over-rate during their match against Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on May 7.
“As it was his team’s third offense of the season under the IPL’s Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offenses, Rishabh Pant was fined ₹30 Lakh and suspended for one match. The rest of the members of the Playing XI, including the Impact Player, were each individually fined either Rs 12 lakh or 50 percent of their respective match fees, whichever is lesser,” read a statement from the Indian Premier League.
As per Article 8 of the IPL Code of Conduct, the Delhi Capitals filed an appeal challenging the ruling of the match referee. Following this, the appeal was referred to BCCI ombudsman for review. The ombudsman conducted a virtual hearing and affirmed that the decision of the match referee remains final and binding.
It is DC’s third offense of this IPL season hence the suspension came into vogue immediately leading to Pant missing the match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru which is scheduled to be held on Sunday. While the absence of Pant will certainly give RCB an edge they can’t get themselves lulled into a comfort zone.
The RCB, currently standing seventh in the points table with 10 points from 12 matches, will desperately hope not to run into that brilliant Capitals as a defeat can ruin their hopes to enter the IPL playoffs. But their confidence will be high, courtesy strong and consistent batting effort led by talisman Virat Kohli.
Can Delhi make it to the IPL playoffs?
Delhi Capitals’ future in IPL playoffs depends on CSK and SRH as well. DC need to win their last two games with the hope that between Hyderabad and Chennai, one team loses their remaining games.

Summary
Sanju Samson has been picked in India’s 15-man T20I squad thwat will travel to the West Indies and the United States for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup to played between June 1 and 29, 2024.
Rajasthan Royals have performed exceptionally well in the ongoing IPL seaosn and team coach Kumar Sangakkara has credited the skipper for being a caring leader for his teammates. In a recent interaction with PTI, the Sri Lankan said that Samson is a special player and when he’s fresh and focused there’s nothing he can’t do. RR stand are on the second spot on the points table, after winning 8 matches out of 11.
“He tends to like a lot of privacy and cares for the rest of the group. Those are great qualities to have apart from talent and skill. I think he’ll be exceptional in that group going to the World Cup”, the former Sri Lanka wicketkeeper-batsman said.
Talking about Samson’s training regime, Sangakara revealed that he has redesigned his prep which has helped him immensely in the current season and is hoping that it will give good results in the World Cup too.
“With Sanju, the biggest thing about this season for him is having a lot of clarity about the way he should bat,” former Sri Lanka wicketkeeper-batsman Sangakkara added. He seems to lose a bit of concentration in certain stages of the game, which we’ve addressed from past seasons. He’s changed his mindset about the importance of rest and recovery, rather than just training all the time and being tired mentally and physically. The rest is his exceptional ability.”
Game of margins! 😮
A splendid catch that raises the 𝙃𝙊𝙋𝙀 for the Delhi Capitals 🙌
Sangakkara said Samson, who has been on the periphery of the Indian side in recent years had the qualities to succeed after making a World Cup squad for the first time.
Sanju Samson has been selected in India’s 15-man squad for the June 1-29 event in the West Indies and United States. The squad also has Rishabh Pant who recently made his comeback after 14 months. Having two wicket-keeper batsmen gives the 2007 champions options as they bid for a second title. India coach Rahul Dravid and skipper Rohit Sharma would have kept an eye on proceedings as Samson hit 86 off 46 balls during Rajasthan’s 20-run loss to Pant’s Delhi Capitals on Tuesday.
🚨India’s squad for ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 announced 🚨
“It’s really up to Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma and how they see the combination. But he (Samson) has made his case, so hopefully he’ll have a good run in the World Cup,” Sangakkara told reporters.
Samson has scored 471 runs in 11 games third only to Virat Kohli (542) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (541).

Summary
Shane Watson had played a crucial role in Chennai’s triumph in IPL 2018. Chennai Super Kings registered an impressive win over Delhi Capitals on Wednesday. MS Dhoni and Co have now essentially cemented their position in the top four by virtue of this win.
Chennai Super Kings registered an impressive win over Delhi Capitals on Wednesday. MS Dhoni and Co have now essentially cemented their position in the top four by virtue of this win. Die-hard Chennai fans, passionate as ever, are overjoyed with their team’s win and Dhoni is trending on Twitter.
Now, a heartwarming picture of Dhoni from the match is gaining traction on the microblogging platform. The picture shows the talismanic skipper greeting former Chennai Super Kings player Shane Watson after the match. While tweeting the picture, one CSK fan wrote, “Lions Reunion!! MS Dhoni × Shane Watson.”
One fan wrote, “Was eagerly waiting for this moment.”
Another fan replied, “We miss you Wato.”
“Wanted Watson to be in CSK camp,” read another comment.
Shane Watson played a crucial role in Chennai’s triumph in IPL 2018. In fact, the big-hitting all-rounder had smashed a brilliant hundred in the final and guided Chennai to their third IPL title five years ago. So, the great camaraderie between Dhoni and Watson is not really surprising to see.
Watson is currently the assistant coach of the Delhi Capitals franchise. He will certainly be disappointed with his team’s performance against Chennai Super Kings.
The four-time champions are nearly invincible at the Chepauk stadium. On Wednesday, Delhi found that out the hard way.
Chennai, batting first, put up a decent total of 167 runs on the board. Chennai’s total was buoyed by whirlwind cameos from Shivam Dube, MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja.
While chasing a tricky total, Delhi Capitals had the worst possible start as Deepak Chahar removed both their openers inside the first three overs. Delhi were dealt a body blow when Mitchell Marsh was run out in the fourth over. After sliding to 25 for 3, Delhi could never really recover. Manish Pandey and Rilee Rossouw tried to fight back for their team and were able to steady the ship. However, the likes of Moeen Ali and Ravindra Jadeja restricted the Capitals’ batters in the middle overs. Delhi batters struggled in the middle overs as the old ball was turning and holding in the track.
In the end, Matheesha Pathirana provided the finishing touch for Chennai and the home team completed an NRR-boosting win by 27 runs.

IPL 2023 RCB vs DC highlights: Royal Challengers Bangalore win by 23 runs; Delhi Capitals lose 5 matches in a row

Summary
Catch the highlights from match 20th of the TATA IPL 2023 between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals played at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru
A devastated Delhi Capitals (DC) side will travel to Bengaluru to take on low on confidence Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in match 20th of the IPL 2023 on Saturday.
DC remains the only team that is yet to taste success this season. DC’s latest defeat came against five-time champions Mumbai Indians, when they lost against a last-ball thriller at their home ground of Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday.
Taking field against DC will be RCB who themselves are recovering from a shock loss against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in yet another last-ball finish a night earlier at home. It was RCB’s second straight loss after the team began their season by thrashing MI at home.
The losses for DC and RCB has meant that DC are stuck at the foot of the IPL 2023 points table while RCB remain in the bottom half of the points tally irrespective of the Friday’s outcome between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
RCB look to strengthen its bowling with return of Wanindu Hasaranga
RCB’s batting looks settled with the trio of captain Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell all slamming quickfire half-centuries against LSG. For, du Plessis and Kohli it was their second half-centuries of the season after the duo had already notched fifties against MI. What will further bolster RCB’s confidence is the fact that du Plessis and Kohli are enjoying playing at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium. The two have struck partnerships of 148 and 96 playing at home.
However it is the bowling that has caused concerns for the team. Only fast bowler Mohammed Siraj and leg spinner Karn Sharma find their names amongst the list of top-20 leading wicket takers this season. Both Siraj and Sharma have picked 5 wickets each from the three matches the two have played so far. The likes of Harshal Patel and David Willey will have to up their game to strengthen the bowling.
But before RCB take field on Saturday, the team’s frail bowling attack will get a shot in the arm as Sri Lankan leg spinner Wanindu Hasaranga has joined the squad after international commitments kept him away for the start of the season.
With 26 scalps, Hasaranga was the second highest wicket taker in IPL 2022. The leggie should immediately find his way back into the team’s playing XI with either David Willey or Wayne Parnell warming the bench.
David Warner is DC’s lone batting warrior
DC have a mountain to climb it the team aims to be in the contention for the playoffs.
Team could draw inspiration from the fact that captain David Warner hit a fighting fifty against MI. It was his third fifty of the season and has kept him firmly in the race to win this season’s Orange Cap. Then lower down the order Axar Patel followed his captain’s footsteps and notched a half-century of his own, although Patel’s fifty came up at a far more blistering rate.
DC’s weakness is its batting. Except for Warner and Patel, no other DC batter has notched a half-century this season. The likes of Prithvi Shaw, Manish Pandey, Lalit Yadav, Sarfaraz Khan and Abhishek Porel are struggling to get big scores.
A weak batting order coupled with an average bowling attack could give us a definite answer into why DC are yet to win a game this season.
Medium pacer Mukesh Kumar is leading the wicket-taking charts for DC this year after claiming 4 wickets. However, it is express pacer Anrich Nortje and willy spinner Kuldeep Yadav who have been DC’s strike bowlers in the seasons gone by. The world is yet to see their best efforts this season as they have picked two wickets each thus far.
The two teams will look to draw positives from the crushing defeats as they look to get their faltering IPL 2023 campaigns back on track.
Predicted playing XIs
RCB predicted playing XI
Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis (c), Mahipal Lomror, Glenn Maxwell, Shahbaz Ahmed, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Anuj Rawat, Wanindu Hasaranga, Wayne Parnell, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj
Expect Wanindu Hasaranga to make an instant impact on his return to the IPL. Hasaranga has grown into one of T20 cricket’s most potent bowler. In 139 T20 games the leg spinner has picked 188 wickets and bowled at an average of 17.06 and has an economy of 6.78. Hasaranga could be amongst wickets against DC.
Axar Patel (DC)
At the moment, Axar Patel can do no wrong. The all-rounder had a productive Test series against Australia and has carried the good for into IPL 2023 as well. However all his contributions are coming with the bat. But lately Axar’s captains seem to be under utilizing him as the bowler. Should Axar start contributing with the ball too, he will be become a very valuable asset for the team.
Pitch
The pitches at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium are batting friendly. Expect a high scoring fixture.

IPL 2023, DC vs MI highlights: Cameron Green, Tim David hold nerves to steer Mumbai Indians home in a tense last-ball finish

Summary
Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians highlights: Follow the IPL 2023 highlights, DC vs MI highlights on cnbctv18.com. Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians go head-to-head at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi in search of their first win of IPL 2023.
Mumbai Indians (MI) will square off against the Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Tuesday. Both teams are yet to secure their first victory of the season with Mumbai losing twice and Delhi failing to cross over the finishing line three games in a row now. The upcoming contest will finally allow both the sides to break the deadlock and open their points tally at the expense of the opposing side.
Delhi have looked very out of sorts so far with their batting failing to gather any steam in the absence of Rishabh Pant. David Warner has been amongst the runs but with only a strike rate of 117.03 so far. Prithvi Shaw has struggled to get going whereas the Capitals’ experiments with Sarfaraz Khan and Manish Pandey haven’t worked out so far.
Their tendency to shield Caribbean big-hitter Rovman Powell pushes him down the order and Rilee Rossouw has not translated his success from other competitions in the Indian Premier League (IPL) so far. There are far too many under-performing stars in that Delhi unit and hence they need to overhaul their batting template rather than chop and change players in the XI.
On the other hand, Mumbai are facing a similar dilemma with their top-order comprising Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Cameron Green having been unable to score the big runs until now. Even Mumbai’s bowling is lacking bite without Jasprit Bumrah and Jofra Archer and they simply do not have quality spinners to exploit the slow turners that they will be offered in tracks like the Feroz Shah Kotla and other similar grounds.
Delhi need an injection of power and charisma at the top of the order and Prithvi Shaw can provide exactly that if he can get in the groove. He has looked very out of sorts so far but a feeble Mumbai bowling unit could be the perfect opposition for him to regain some of his batting touch. Warner hasn’t been timing the ball that well yet and a possible blitzkrieg from Shaw at the top could provide the Australian opener just that little bit of cushion to get some positive momentum under his belt.
The Mumbai skipper admitted after the game against Chennai that the senior players in the team need to step up, starting with him. Rohit showed some good intent in his brief stay on the crease at Wankhede on Sunday. He was undone by a peace of a delivery by Tushar Deshpande but the captain showed some good touch by charging down the track a couple of times. He should try and take that intent into the game against Delhi and possibly see if he can convert this knock into a big score.
Pitch Report
The average first innings batting score at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in 13 games is merely 139, which suggests that bowlers might dominate this contest on Tuesday.
Where to Watch?
The match will commence at 7:30 pm on Tuesday and television viewers can tune into action on the Star Sports network. Digital users can bounce to the JioCinema application to catch the game at the same time.
