PBKS vs DC Preview

The 17th season of the Indian Premier League promises to be exciting for Delhi Capitals fans as it brings the most-anticipated return of star wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant. Pant’s return to competitive cricket comes almost 16 months after suffering a near-fatal vehicle accident in December 2022. The team’s approach, as articulated by Ponting, is not just about qualifying for the last four but about winning the title. This ambition, coupled with Pant’s return and the strategic intensity of the preparations, positions the Delhi Capitals as strong contenders for the title. However, DC’s journey was poor last season. They ended up standing at the ninth position with 5 wins and 9 losses.

The Kings, led by their captain Shikhar Dhawan, are ready to showcase their swag and take on the Capitals in their new stadium. With players like Jitesh Sharma, Arshdeep Singh, Liam Livingstone & more on the team, expect a thrilling match that will have you on the edge of your seat! They completed eighth in the points table last season with six wins and eight losses.
