Pushed into a tight corner, Royal Challengers Bengaluru rose above their frailties to notch four wins on the trot to stay alive in the race to play-offs, but Delhi Capitals even sans their suspended skipper Rishabh Pant offer them a different challenge in the IPL match here on Sunday.
Pant was suspended for one match and handed a fine of Rs 30 lakh for maintaining slow over rate against Rajasthan Royals at Delhi on May 7.
It was DC’s third offence of the season; hence the suspension came in vogue immediately leading to Pant missing the match against RCB.
While the absence of Pant will certainly give RCB an edge, they can’t get themselves lulled into a comfort zone.
In the run-up to this match, RCB defeated Gujarat Titans twice, Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad once each.
While the victory over SRH was valiant, RCB did not face much challenge from the floundering Titans and Kings.
But the Capitals are a team unlike any other as they have oscillated between brilliant and ordinary in the span of a few days.
