The hosts, led by Shikhar Dhawan finished eighth in the points table last season of the IPL. Delhi Capitals, too had a poor campaign in the 2023 season as they finished ninth under the leadership of David Warner. The new season will see the return of Rishabh Pant after he took a gap of more than a year following his fatal accident. Today’s match will also see some new faces on Punjab’s side and both teams will look forward to starting the season afresh, learning from the mistakes of the last IPL season.
