New Delhi: In the 35th match of the Indian Premier League 2024, Sunrisers team defeated Delhi Capitals by 67 runs. A tsunami of runs was seen in this match played at Arun Jaitley Stadium. The batsmen of both the teams made a lot of noise. In the match, Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant had decided to bowl first after winning the toss. Regarding bowling first at the time of toss, Pant said that this is a batting pitch and he wants to chase runs on this wicket.
It is often seen in T20 cricket that the team that wins the toss in the evening match prefers to bowl first, but how wise was Rishabh that he asked the team to bat first on the Pata pitch which is in its destructive form. Is. Who has scored record breaking scores in IPL twice in the season.
There is no such captaincy even in street cricket.
Rishabh Pant knows very well that his bowlers are not in their rhythm this season. Barring the match against Gujarat Titans, the bowlers have been badly beaten in all the remaining matches. In such a situation, what Pant could have done as a captain was that he would have batted first and set a big target on the scoreboard, so that there would be mental pressure on Sunrisers.
On the other hand, if Pant had decided to bat first, then Delhi batsmen could have batted freely in the first innings, as Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma did for Sunrisers. In such a situation, Rishabh and his poor captaincy can be considered the biggest responsible for the defeat that Delhi has suffered against Sunrisers.
Rishabh Pant was a flop in batting also
Not only Rishabh Pant’s captaincy, but also his batting in the match was bad. In the match against Sunrisers, on one hand, batsman like Jack Fraser scored fifty in 15 balls for Delhi, while Pant had to struggle to score runs. It is not that Pant cannot play fast innings. He did this but he had to bear the brunt of the decision he took at the time of the toss while batting. This is why Pant looked under pressure while chasing the target and could score 44 runs in just 35 balls while batting.
