Social media erupted with criticism aimed at the DC captain for his conduct on the field, accusing him of dishonesty and unjustly pressuring the umpires.
I always found Rishabh Pant 'Jhootha' 'Clueless' & 'attention seeker'.

Rishabh Pant was clearly at the wrong there. He indeed asked for a review or at least gestured that way. Umpire will obviously act accordingly. Rishabh Pant is so immature. He doesn't deserve to be a captain. #IPL2024 #LSGvsDC #DCvsLSG #LSGvDC #DCvLSG

Rishabh Pant's performance behind the stumps has been inconsistent since his return from a serious road accident. While he has displayed remarkable saves and attempted daring run-outs, he has also struggled with DRS calls.
In the match against KKR, Pant neglected to take DRS reviews against Sunil Narine and Phil Salt, contributing to KKR's imposing total of 272 runs. Furthermore, Pant has already faced fines from the IPL for maintaining a slow over-rate, and another penalty may be imminent for his time-wasting tactics against LSG.
In the match, Lucknow Super Giants won the toss and elected to bat first against Delhi Capitals. The Capitals' bowling unit faced a daunting task against an in-form LSG team, who entered the match as overwhelming favorites.
The match between Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals promised to be an intriguing battle, with both teams aiming to secure crucial points in the IPL standings.
