After the match with Mumbai Indians, DC skipper  Shreyas Iyer had suggested that he wasn’t sure about Pant’s injury and he needed to rest at least for a week. Pant was seen limping in the game against Rajasthan Royals when he took the catch of Varun Aaron to defeat RR by 46 runs. The injury happened when Pant tried to stop a quick single towards mid-wicket earlier in the innings.
