Rishabh Pant, the captain of the Delhi Capitals, admitted that he feels anxious about playing again. After 454 days, he will return to the cricket field. His last match was against Bangladesh in December 2022. He will now be seen competing in the IPL for the Delhi Caps.
At Mullanpur Stadium in Mohali, Delhi's opening game of the 17th season will be against Punjab Kings, with Pant serving as captain of the team. Mullanpur is going to be the 36th IPL location.
Pant declared, "I'm pleased with my return."
One day prior to the match, on Friday, Pant stated, "I am both nervous and excited." I'm glad to be playing professional cricket again. My only concern right now is winning the opening game.
On December 29, 2022, Rishabh Pant was involved in a car accident. Following that, he was required to undergo a 14-month rehabilitation program. He has missed two Indian cricket team tournaments and a whole IPL season.
Starc is not accustomed to seeing in other squads, according to Cummins.
The Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad will play in the IPL today. The game at Kolkata's Eden Gardens Stadium will begin at 7:30 p.m. Pat Cummins of Australia will captain Hyderabad in this. Mitchell Starc, a fast bowler from Kolkata, Australia, will be playing in front of him.
"I have been playing with Starc for fifteen years," stated Cummins prior to the game. I have no recollection of ever playing cricket with him, nor do I regularly see him in the opposing team's dugout. My team needs to bat more effectively because I don't want to have to take on their bowling.
Mullanpur is set to become the 36th IPL site.
The first game between the Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings will take place at Mullanpur Stadium in Mohali on Saturday. Up until now, there had never been an IPL or international match held here. Today's game will mark the stadium's opening. Maharaj Yadvendra Singh International Cricket Stadium is the name of the venue.
