The third offence happened in Delhi's last match against Rajasthan Royals.
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.
