INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE 2024: RISHABH PANT'S RETURN FUELS THE DELHI CAPITALS

Rishabh Pant’s return has fuelled the Delhi Capitals ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season. The 26-yearold keeper-batter underwent an extensive 14-month rehabilitation program prescribed by the National Cricket Academy (NCA) after suffering multiple injuries during a car accident in December 2022. The BCCI recently cleared Pant as a wicketkeeper-batter for the 2024 IPL season. Pant will return as DC’s skipper after having missed the 2023 campaign.

DC have several top performers in their squad and after a disappointing season, they will look to turn things around. DC will hope to find the flair of their campaigns witnessed between 2019 to 2021. They finished fifth and ninth when 10 teams came into the picture. DC will hope to ride on their settled core to get the best out of the campaign. One massive blow for DC was the withdrawal of Harry Brook. They are now seeking his replacement. In the IPL 2024 auction, DC were one of the busiest sides. They spent heavily on Jhye Richardson and Kumar Kushagra, besides Englishman Brook. In the upcoming season, DC will count upon Australian duo David Warner and Mitchell Marsh. Among Indian players, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel are key assets. Ahead of a cracking 2024 season, we analyze DC’s squad and their chances.

DELHI CAPITALS IPL 2024 SEASON SQUAD

Rishabh Pant, David Warner, Prithvi Shaw, Yash Dhull, Abishek Porel, Axar Patel, Lalit Yadav, Mitchell Marsh, Pravin Dubey, Vicky Ostwal, Anrich Nortje, Kuldeep Yadav, Lungi Ngidi, Khaleel Ahmed, Ishant Sharma, Mukesh Kumar, Tristan Stubbs, Ricky Bhui, Kumar Kushagra, Rasikh Dar, Jhye Richardson, Sumit Kumar, Shai Hope, and Swastik Chikara.
