Punjab Kings (PBKS) will be taking on Delhi Capitals (DC) in the second match of the Indian Premier League 2024 on March 23. It will be the first day game of the season. In the 17th edition of the league, CSK took on RCB in the inaugural match. The match is set to take place at the newly built Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur. 

It will be special for DC, as Rishabh Pant will be back in action for the first time since December 2022. It is interesting to see how he performs, given the fact that he sustained some serious injuries. Pant is also named the captain of DC, which is an interesting move. PBKS, on the other hand, is led by Shikhar Dhawan, who has not been in action at the highest level for a long time. He last played a match for India in 2022.

Both teams have some of the best players in the world. DC has the likes of David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Pant, Anrich Nortje, Ishant Sharma, and so on. PBKS has the likes of Liam Livingstone, Dhawan, Sam Curran, Jitesh Sharma, Nathan Ellis, Harshal Patel, Jonny Bairstow, Sikandar Raza, Arshdeep Singh, Kagiso Rabada, and so on. One can expect a cracking match between the two sides.

Pitch Report

The match is set to take place at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur. The stadium will be hosting its first match in the IPL. However, in the matches that are played at the venue, the wicket seems to be on the slower side. Given that it will be a day game, it is expected to be slower. The team winning the toss would not mind batting. Batters need to hit odd boundaries. Bowlers need to be accurate with their line and lengths.

Player Picks

9
C

Shikhar Dhawan PBKS | BAT

Shikhar Dhawan has not been in action for a long time. IPL is the only tournament where he is a regular for his team. Hence, the experienced player would be looking forward to the league and score some runs.

9
C

David Warner DC | BAT

David Warner recently announced retirement from Tests and ODIs. The star batter also claimed the series against West Indies to be his last at home in T20Is. With not much pressure, he could be dangerous in the league.

8
C

Mitchell Marsh DC | ALL

Mitchell Marsh was recently announced the captain of Australia for the T20 World Cup 2024. He will be on a mission to lead his team in the major tournament. To be in good form before the tournament, IPL plays a key role for him.

8

Liam Livingstone PBKS | ALL

Liam Livingstone is a utility player. With the bat, he can come in the middle order and hit some deadly blows. As a bowler, he can be handy with his off spin and leg spin bowling. As a fielder, he can take some athletic catches.

9

Axar Patel DC | ALL

Axar Patel has been a revelation in the last few years. He is now a genuine All-rounder who can win matches on his own both as a batter and as a bowler. Given the nature of the wicket in Mohali, he can be key for the success of DC.

5

Mukesh Kumar DC | BOWL

Mukesh Kumar is a good death bowler. He has the abilities to nail Yorkers towards the last four overs. He can be highly impactful as an economical bowler and can claim some wickets in the process of containing runs.

8

Rahul Chahar PBKS | BOWL

Rahul Chahar is a genuine wicket taker. The leg spinner has the ability to turn the ball both ways. With his stock ball, Chahr becomes a dangerous bowler. His googly is good too and can be helpful against the right handers.

5

Abishek Porel

DC | BAT

Abhishek Porel is a talented player. He is arguably one of the finest wicket keepers in India at the moment. However, his batting skills are not up to the mark. As DC has Tristan Stubbs and Shai Hope in their lineup, Porel might not be in the XI.

8

Jonny Bairstow

PBKS | WK

Jonny Bairstow is a world class performer. However, PBKS is likely to go with the overseas combination of Liam Livingstone, Sikandar Raza, Sam Curran, and Kagiso Rabada. Hence, Bairstow might not make it to the side.
