8. Delhi Capitals' tribute to Rishabh Pant
This year, Delhi Capitals (DC) captain, Rishabh Pant couldn’t participate in the 2023 IPL due to his horrific accident in December 2022. In his absence, the leadership mantle was handed to David Warner, and under the Aussie, the 2020 IPL runners-up failed to perform up to the expectations.
