BCCI ordered Delhi Capitals to not “share Rishabh Pant” Jersey in the dugout; Report

The Delhi Capitals were ordered to stop sharing “Rishabh Pant’s” jersey in the dugout after their IPL 2023 season opener by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

According to reports from various media sources, the BCCI Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) must grant permission for Delhi Capitals.

The BCCI is unhappy with the manner the players’ jerseys were exchanged in the dugout because doing so would imply that the players had experienced great tragedy or had retired, which wasn’t the case, and the Delhi Capitals’ gesture was “Over the Top.”

“It seemed a bit over the top. Such a gesture is reserved in case of ultimate tragedy or retirement. In this case, it was neither. Rishabh is well and truly on his way to recovery faster than one expected. So while it was done with a noble intention, it is learnt that BCCI has politely told the franchise to avoid such gesture in future,” the IPL source said.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India issued a directive to the Delhi Capitals after their IPL 2023 season opener to cease sharing “Rishabh Pant’s“ jersey in the dugout.

Delhi Capitals must receive permission from the BCCI Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU), according to reports from different media sources.

The BCCI disapproves of the way the players’ jerseys were switched in the dugout because doing so would suggest that the players had either retired or suffered a major disaster, neither of which were the case, and the Delhi Capitals’ gesture was “Over the Top.”

Regarding the most recent match between CSK and LSG, the former won by 12 runs thanks to individual brilliance from Rituraj Gaikwad and Moeen Ali with the bat and ball, respectively. IPL 2023 has just started, and different teams are applying themselves tactically well to stay afloat in the points table.
