IPL 2024: The 17th edition of the Indian Premier League is all set for another epic battle. A league match will be held between Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings from 2:30 PM on Saturday at the Chandigarh venue. Rishabh Pant is serving as the Delhi captain after a long hiatus. He is re-entering cricket through this match. In 2022, Pant was injured in a road accident. He is going to play a cricket match after a long break after being treated in the hospital. Pant declared that he is already fit. Delhi coach Ponting announced that Pant also worked hard. He explained that the Delhi team is strong in bowling and batting. David Warner was the captain of Delhi last season. Then the team finished 9th.
Shikhar Dhawan, who played for the Delhi team until recently, is currently serving as the captain of Punjab. This time he is looking to give victory to his team. In 2014, the Punjab team went to the final. Kolkata lost in that match. Since then, it has not been able to perform at that level. Jitesh Sharma is the vice-captain of the Punjab team. Punjab team looks strong with the likes of Sikander Raza, Sam Karan and Living Stone. With the likes of Rabada, Arshadeep and Harshal Patel, the bowling force is also at a level that seems to be out of the question. In the background of the poor performance of these two teams last season, they are expected to perform better this time.
