Weather Report for March 23
Pitch Report
Analysis
Unlike the previous seasons, the Punjab Kings haven’t made drastic changes in their squad or their coaching staff ahead of IPL 2024. The Kings finished eighth but showed promise in a few fixtures. For the upcoming season, Punjab has some world-class international stars in Shikhar Dhawan, Jonny Bairstow, Jitesh Sharma, Liam Livingstone and more, but their Indian contingent doesn’t boast a lot of quality and lacks experience, be it in the batting or bowling department.
Moving to the Delhi Capitals, the 2024 season will be incredibly special as it marks the return of Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant after 14 months. But other than Pant’s comeback, the Capitals don’t boast of a great squad with a handful of world-class players across various departments. The uncertainty of their top order and their below-par pace attack will be the major issues Pant and Co. will have to overcome for a successful IPL season.
