IPL 2024 Delhi Capitals squad, match schedule: DC's prospects riding on many superstars, but Rishabh Pant definitely the X factor
IPL 2024 Delhi Capitals squad, match schedule: DC will be delighted with Pant's return to the squad, but there are still a lot of concerns regarding his form as well as his ability to keep wickets, as he hasn't played the sport since he survived a horrific accident back in December 2022.
IPL 2024 Delhi Capitals squad, match schedule: A revamp, a reshuffle, and a new squad, but still, the team from the national capital doesn't have the aura of champions at the moment. The Delhi Capitals completely overhauled their overseas players' ranks during the IPL 2024 auction back in December.
The team got rid of a lot of their foreign deadwood from their squad, got some decent buys, and further reinforced the squad with a lot of wicketkeeping options, mostly due to the unsurity around Rishabh Pant's fitness.
However, DC will be delighted with Pant's return to the squad, but there are still a lot of concerns regarding his form as well as his ability to keep wickets, as he hasn't played the sport since he survived a horrific accident back in December 2022.
However, Delhi has Tristan Stubbs as Pant's replacement, who is turning out to be one of the biggest prospects in world cricket at the moment.
Delhi also has a lot of work to do with their Indian pacer, as Mukesh Kumar has leaked a lot of runs, and they might be forced to look at Ishant Sharma and Khaeel Ahmed to support Anrich Nortje and Lungi Ngidi who will likely lead DC's pace attack.
Despite all these drawbacks, DC has one of the best spin duos, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav, in their squad, with Mitchell Marsh, David Warner and Prithvi Shaw leading the attack with the bat from the top.
The Delhi Capitals do not look scary on paper, but if all these players (or even a few) click as a unit and deliver according to their roles, they can give any opposition a run for their money.
