Ahead of the 17th season of the Indian Premier League, we take a look at five developments the Delhi Capitals, who will be hoping to end their title drought this time around, will have to keep an eye on
Rishabh Pant will be returning to competitive cricket for the first time since December 2022, and how he performs with bat and with the keeping gloves could prove crucial for the Delhi Capitals
David Warner had led the Capitals in Pant’s absence, and with the latter returning to action this season, the Australian will have the freedom to bat without the burden of captaincy once again
Kuldeep Yadav had a terrific run in 2023 and has also been among India’s key wicket-takers in recent fixtures, and will play a crucial role for the Capitals this season, especially on slow wickets like Chepauk
Also returning to action after a long gap is pacer Anrich Nortje, and skipper Pant and head coach Ricky Ponting will have a lot of expectations from the South African this season
Jake Fraser-McGurk’s addition to the DC squad as Lungi Ngidi’s replacement also brings a lot of excitement, especially since the Aussie holds the record for the fastest one-day century — off just 29 deliveries
