The South African pacer tested positive for COVID-19 while in quarantine.
The 23-year-old Pant was appointed as the Delhi Capitals skipper following the injury to regular captain Shreyas Iyer, which forced him out of the tournament.
The young opener smashed 72 runs off 38 balls to help Delhi Capitals defeat the Chennai Super Kings by seven wickets at the weekend.
CSK put on board a competitive 188 with Raina scoring a brisk 54 but last-year's finalists Delhi Capitals overhauled the target without any fuss.
Shaw (72 off 38 balls) and Dhawan (85 off 54 balls) put on a 138-run opening-wicket partnership in 13.3 overs that saw their side make a mockery of the challenging 189-run target set by CSK. DC chased the target in 18.4 overs.
In India TV's 'Cricket Dhamaka', the experts lauded DC's opening duo on its batting approach, and spoke significantly on Shaw's enormous improvement over the past few months.
Shikhar Dhawan, who scored 85 off 54 balls against CSK, said that he had already anticipated the bowling plans and field placements Dhoni's side would set for him.
Chasing 189 for victory, DC romped to a seven-wicket victory with eight balls to spare after Shikhar Dhawan (85) and Prithvi Shaw (72) struck blistering half-centuries.
The opening duo of Shaw and Dhawan ran riot at Wankhede as the Chennai bowling unit looked hapless on the day.
Pant was earlier last month named as Delhi's new skipper for the 14th season after Shreyas Iyer was ruled out with a shoulder injury.
