PBKS vs DC: IPL 2024 team news
Shikhar Dhawan will continue leading Punjab. Harshal Patel’s addition to an underrated pace line-up comprising Arshdeep Singh, Kagiso Rabada and Nathan Ellis will add value. They will depend heavily on their marquee English contingent of Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran.
For Delhi Capitals, the return of their skipper, Rishabh Pant, after a harrowing car accident last year has given them a massive boost. However, Harry Brook pulling out due to the death of his grandmother and the unavailability of Lungi Ngidi due to an injury are some of the setbacks they faced ahead of their season opener. Rookie Australia youngster Jake Fraser-McGurk’s inclusion is a valuable addition to their line-up.

The PBKS look well-balanced on paper compared to the DC, whose batting is overtly top-heavy. If one of PBKS’ English contingent can fire, things will be a cakewalk for the home side. It could be Punjab opening their account with a win.
