Delhi Capitals will surely miss their captain wicket keeper for their must winning match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru away from their home. Delhi's batting line up is heavily dependent on Pant; also he is the highest run scorer in the team with 413 runs in 12 innings including 3 fifties. Pant has donned many match winning & game changing innings for the team in this season.

Currently, Delhi Capitals are at number 5 position in the points table with 12 points while RCB are positioned at 7th place with 10 points in their account. Both the teams are still fighting to qualify for the playoffs and this fixture will be very crucial to watch out for as it will decide fate of both the teams. 

DC filed an appeal challenging this ruling of the match referee which was referred to the BCCI Ombudsman for review. The Ombudsman conducted a virtual hearing and stated that the decision of the match referee is final and binding.\
