The entire Delhi Capitals camp was thrown into a tizzy when Rishabh Pant was ruled out of the upcoming IPL. Apart from being the captain, Pant lent balance to the squad with his wicketkeeping and batting in the middle order. The ‘impact player’ regulation, therefore, couldn’t have been introduced at a better time for Capitals. They haven’t been able to find an Indian wicketkeeper to replace Pant but the regulation to substitute players during the course of the game could be their saviour. “We will work out the best way to use that player (Indian wicketkeeper) and as far as…
