Rishabh Pant struggles with form post record INR 27 crore IPL 2025 auction, affecting LSG’s early performance. With just one win, the team faces pressure. Harbhajan Singh voices concern, as Punjab Kings excel, showcasing strength under Ricky Ponting.

Pant's Form Woes After Record IPL 2025 Auction

Rishabh Pant's form issues trouble LSG following his record-breaking IPL auction. With just one win in three matches, LSG's performance under his captaincy stirs concern. Harbhajan Singh critiques his form, while Punjab Kings, led by Prabhsimran, secure a dominant victory.

Rishabh Pant struggles with form post record INR 27 crore IPL 2025 auction

Rishabh Pant's record IPL auction deal hasn't translated into on-field success. His struggles as LSG captain have led to team challenges, with just one win in three matches.

Rishabh Pant, who made history at the IPL 2025 auction by becoming the costliest player ever with a staggering INR 27 crore deal with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), has struggled to find form this season.
As the captain of LSG, his initial performances in the league have been underwhelming, recording scores of 0, 15, and 2 in his first three outings, much to the chagrin of the franchise and fans alike.
LSG, under Pant's leadership, has managed to win just one of their first three matches, raising concerns over the team's performance. Notably, former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh expressed his concerns about Pant's current form.
"Rishabh Pant hasn't been able to contribute significantly. His bat has been silent. The team needs to address this issue as his early dismissals have been a big setback for LSG," Harbhajan commented on his YouTube channel.
In their recent match against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Lucknow, after PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer opted to bowl first, LSG managed to put up a competitive score of 171 for 7, with Nicholas Pooran top-scoring with 44 off 30 deliveries.
However, PBKS chased down the target with relative ease, courtesy of Prabhsimran Singh's explosive 69 off 34 and Iyer's steady knock of 52 not out off 30. Nehal Wadhera's unbeaten 43 off 25 balls further solidified PBKS's commanding performance, securing their second consecutive victory of the season.
Reflecting on the match, Harbhajan pointed out, "LSG found themselves in a challenging position after losing the toss. Despite a commendable knock from Pooran, the team couldn't sustain the momentum once he fell to Yuzvendra Chahal.
Ayush Badoni and Abdul Samad added crucial runs towards the end, but it wasn't enough to defend against Punjab's powerful batting lineup."
He further praised Punjab's performance, stating, "Winning in Lucknow against a team like LSG demonstrates the excellent cricket Punjab is playing.
They are evolving into a cohesive and formidable unit, showing the capability to contend for the title. Under Ricky Ponting's guidance, they are becoming a force to be reckoned with."
As LSG grapples with its early-season challenges, the spotlight remains on Pant to rediscover his form and lead his team to success in the coming matches.

Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, and Shubman Gill made a highly anticipated return to the Ranji Trophy, but all three were dismissed cheaply in the ongoing round of matches. 

Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill fail to impress in Ranji Trophy comebacks

India's star players falter in Ranji Trophy comebacks

Despite the BCCI mandating contracted players' participation, the India stars struggled to make an impact, with performances falling short ahead of the Champions Trophy.

India's star players, including Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, and Shubman Gill, made a high-profile return to the Ranji Trophy, but their comebacks were short-lived, as all three fell cheaply during the penultimate round of the premier red-ball competition on Thursday.
Rohit, back in action after a challenging run in Australia, was looking to find some rhythm ahead of the Champions Trophy. However, his return to the Ranji Trophy was underwhelming as he was dismissed for just 3 runs in Mumbai's first innings against Jammu and Kashmir. Rohit attempted his signature pull shot off Umar Nazir, only to edge it to J&amp;K skipper Paras Dogra at mid-off. His opening partner, Yashasvi Jaiswal, also had a tough time, getting out for just 4 runs, trapped in front by Auqib Nabi, who exploited the fresh wicket well to produce some movement off the surface at the BKC Ground.
Shreyas Iyer, named in the Champions Trophy squad, could only manage 11 runs before being dismissed at mid-on off pacer Yudhvir Singh.
Meanwhile, in Rajkot, Pant made his first-class appearance for Delhi since the 2017-18 season but was dismissed for just 1 run off 10 balls by Saurashtra's Dharmendrasingh Jadeja, with India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja also featuring for Saurashtra.
In Bengaluru, Shubman Gill didn't last long either, getting caught behind for just 4 runs in the match between Punjab and Karnataka, falling to Abhilash Shetty in the fourth over.
The big names made themselves available for the Ranji Trophy after the BCCI mandated participation for contracted players in domestic cricket, following India's series loss to Australia. However, despite the anticipation around their returns, the stars couldn't make an impact in the ongoing round of matches.

Rishabh Pant, sold to Lucknow Super Giants for a record Rs 27 crores in the IPL 2025 auction, has been named captain of the franchise. 

Rishabh Pant named Lucknow Super Giants captain for IPL 2025

Rishabh Pant, sold to Lucknow Super Giants for a record Rs 27 crores in the IPL 2025 auction, has been named captain of the franchise.&nbsp;

Rishabh Pant, the trailblazing wicketkeeper, has been appointed as the captain of the Lucknow Super Giants for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season, the franchise announced on Monday.
The 27-year-old, who made history during the IPL auction in November by being sold to Lucknow for Rs 27 crores ($3.2 million), joins the team for the upcoming edition of the lucrative T20 tournament.
Pant, known for his flamboyant left-handed batting, returned to captain Delhi Capitals last season after a 14-month hiatus from elite cricket due to a car accident. However, he parted ways with the Capitals after the team finished sixth in the 2024 IPL season standings.
"I see a born leader in Rishabh Pant. From my point of view, he will be probably the best captain IPL has seen," said Sanjiv Goenka, the owner of Lucknow, during a special TV broadcast. "Surely Rishabh Pant will play for at least 14-15 years for us, we hope at least five IPL titles in these years."
Pant has represented India in 150 international matches across all three formats, amassing 5,028 runs, including seven centuries.
The 18th edition of the IPL is set to commence on March 21, with the opening match scheduled to be held in Kolkata, while the final will take place on May 25, according to reports from Indian media.
The IPL continues to be a major revenue generator for Indian cricket, contributing more than $11 billion annually to the economy. It has also played a pivotal role in popularizing T20 cricket globally, inspiring similar events worldwide.

Travis Head’s unique "finger on the ice" celebration after dismissing Rishabh Pant in the Boxing Day Test sparks both intrigue and controversy, drawing reactions from players and critics.

Travis Head explains 'finger on ice' celebration after dismissing Pant

Head's celebration quickly gained attention and went viral on social media. After the match, Australian captain Pat Cummins was asked about it and he offered a lighthearted explanation.

Australia batter Travis Head has explained his unusual celebration after dismissing Rishabh Pant in the Boxing Day Test, stating it signifies "finger on the ice," a quirky gesture that he first showed during the tour of Sri Lanka.
After batting through an entire session, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant appeared poised to guide India to a draw on the final day of the Boxing Day Test.
However, Head turned the game on its head by dismissing Pant, which triggered a dramatic Indian collapse and paved the way for a 184-run Australian victory, giving the hosts a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
Pant mis-timed a pull shot and was caught at long-on, after which Head celebrated the moment with his distinctive gesture of folding the fingers of his left hand into a circle and dipping the forefinger of his right hand into it.
"Finger on the ice. I started in Sri Lanka. I put my finger on the ice and be ready to go for the next one," Head told 'Triple M Radio' after the Melbourne Test.
"I didn't expect to be bowling. I thought Galle would be my next bowling. I'll go put it down in a little cup of ice, be ready to go up there next," he added, referring to Australia's upcoming tour of the island nation.
Head's celebration quickly gained attention and went viral on social media. After the match, Australian captain Pat Cummins was asked about it and he offered a lighthearted explanation.
"I can explain it. It's his finger so hot he's got to put in a cup of ice. Yeah that's what it is," Cummins told reporters.
"So, that's normally the running joke. It was in the Gabba or somewhere he got a wicket as well and just straight to the fridge, grabs a bucket of ice, puts his finger in and just walks in front of Lyno (Nathan Lyon)...just like that (he) thinks it's very funny.
"So that's what it would have been, nothing else."
However, Head's celebration didn't sit well with former India cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu, who demanded "stringent action" against the Australian player, calling it "obnoxious".
"Travis head's obnoxious behaviour during the course of the Melbourne test doesn't auger well for for the gentleman's game...sets the worst possible example when there are kids, women , young &amp; old watching the game.
"...this caustic conduct did not insult an individual but a nation of 1.5 billion Indians...stringent punishment that would serve a deterrent for the future generations needs to be slapped on him so that no one dares follow suit !!!" Sidhu posted on X.
The two teams will play the pivotal final Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground, starting January 3.

Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant (30 off 104) batted out the entire second session to take India to 112/3 but the latter’s fall opened the doors for the home team.

Australia beat India by 184 runs in fourth Test

Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant (30 off 104) batted out the entire second session to take India to 112/3 but the latter&rsquo;s fall opened the doors for the home team.

India slumped to a demoralising 184-run loss to Australia in the fourth Test here on Monday with contemporary greats Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli failing to come good yet again, signalling that their walk towards the exit door is not too far.
Chasing a near improbable target of 340, both Rohit (9 off 40 balls) and Kohli (5) failed to battle their technical frailties and mental cobwebs as India lost seven wickets for 34 runs in just 20.4 overs in the final session to be all out for 155 in 79.1 overs.
Australian captain Pat Cummins (3/28 in 18 overs) was superb as usual and Scott Boland was also magnificent (3/39 in 16 overs) in his every spell.
Nathan Lyon (2/37 in 20.1 overs) took advantage of variable bounce while Mitchell Starc (1/25 in 16 overs) got the prized scalp of Kohli.
This was after an 88-run fourth-wicket stand between Yashasvi Jasiwal and Rishabh Pant.
"Pretty disappointing. We wanted to fight but we could not do it," a dejected Rohit said in the post-match presentation.
"We tried everything but they fought hard. We did not grab our chances," he conceded.
Australia now lead the series 2-1 and unless India draw level in Sydney, a third successive World Test Championship final could become a distant dream. Even to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India would need to post a win.
Save Jaiswal (84, 208 balls), whose controversial caught-behind in which the third umpire overruled technology to adjudge him out, none of the other batters performed well enough to save the team.
"They batted well in the middle session. We knew that we had to get one breakthrough and anything can happen and that proved to be the case.
"We had plenty of runs to play with, we had plenty of fielders with the helmet around," a beaming Cummins, who was also adjudged player of the match for his haul of six wickets, said in the presentation ceremony.
The art of saving Test matches has slowly become extinct but India would have depended on their two senior-most players, who are also fighting to save their legacy and reputation built over nearly two decades.
In case of Rishabh Pant, it was one bad shot too many after a full session in which he concentrated. He got a rank long hop from Travis Head but after a 103-ball vigil, it all came to a naught.
Even Jaiswal's guts and grit couldn't prevent a once highly-rated, but currently a trifle over-rated, Indian batting line-up from implosion with over-the-hill seniors and young superstars unable to handle the pressure.
The defeat could have severe repercussions as there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel for skipper Rohit.
As for Kohli, despite all his white-ball exploits, the problems outside the off-stump will stick out like a sore thumb.
For Rohit, his ultra-defensive approach in the opening slot, is causing India to stare down the barrel with alarming regularity.
Rohit did all the hard work during the first hour before opposition skipper Cummins got his bunny for the 10th time in Test matches.
Kohli could never control his urge of playing the cover drive again and was caught at first slip after Mitchell Starc pushed one across with the angle.
Rahul was out without troubling the scorers after getting a second good ball in the game.
Rohit's decision to bat up the order backfired and it also tinkered with Rahul's mindset despite him being perfectly fine opening the innings.
The captaincy was pedestrian as he let the game drift on occasions and there were lot of phases that led to India's defeat but none more telling than the final wicket partnership between Scott Boland and Nathan Lyon where the target went out of reach on Sunday.
Save Jasprit Bumrah, who once again toiled manfully for 50 overs and took nine wickets, and find-of-the-series Nitish Reddy, who scored a gritty hundred, there are no positives to be taken from this defeat.
The batting, save for the second innings in the opening Perth Test, has been absolutely below par and India won't be doing themselves any favours if they have walking wickets at the top of the order.
The team is going through a tough transition and it is now time that their feisty head coach Gautam Gambhir shows some spark along with chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar.

Despite the team&rsquo;s challenging 10-wicket loss in the second Test on December 8, Pant and his teammates quickly moved on, using the gap between matches to focus on preparations for the upcoming third Test. The squad trained in Adelaide before heading to Brisbane for the crucial clash at The Gabba on December 11.
Pant, however, didn&rsquo;t just focus on cricket. During his downtime in Adelaide, he embraced his "babysitter" role once again, bringing joy to a fan's family. This moment reminded fans of the time during India&rsquo;s 2018-19 tour of Australia, when a playful exchange with Tim Paine earned Pant the title after he was seen with Paine's children.
Pant&rsquo;s off-field charm, whether it's entertaining kids or facing the fiercest bowlers, continues to make him one of the most beloved figures in cricket, adored not only for his fearless batting but also for his playful and down-to-earth nature.

Rishabh Pant’s recovery and success are attributed to a khichdi diet, recommended by nutritionist Shweta Shah for its healing benefits.

Made with rice and dal, khichdi provides all the amino acids necessary, making it a first-class protein source for vegetarians.
<h3>Benefits of eating khichdi</h3>
Easy to Digest: Khichdi is light on the stomach and easy to digest, making it suitable for people with digestive issues.
Nutrient-Rich: Made with rice and dal, it provides essential nutrients, including proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.
Protein Source: The combination of rice and dal provides all the essential amino acids, making it a complete protein for vegetarians.
Healing Properties: According to Ayurveda, khichdi is considered a superfood that helps in healing and detoxifying the body.
Versatile and Customizable: It can be adapted to include various vegetables and spices, enhancing its nutritional value and taste.
Comfort Food: Often consumed as comfort food, khichdi is soothing and can be beneficial during illness or recovery.

Rishabh Pant suffered a horrific car crash in December 2022, with injuries keeping him out of action for close to 15 months.

Rishabh Pant tells Shikhar Dhawan how he was 'nervous about facing people in a wheelchair' after his accident

Rishabh Pant suffered a horrific car crash in December 2022, with injuries and subsequent rehabilitation keeping him out of action for close to 15 months.

Rishabh Pant suffered a horrific car crash in December 2022, with injuries keeping him out of action for close to 15 months.

Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant revealed that he was reluctant to visit the airport after his life-threatening injury as he was apprehensive about facing people while wheelchair-bound.
The 26-year-old had suffered multiple injuries following a near-fatal car crash on the Delhi-Dehradun highway in December, 2022.
He miraculously cheated death but the injuries required a major knee surgery and an extensive rehabilitation about which Pant has already opened up.
"The accident was a life-changing experience for me. When I got up after it, I wasn't even sure if I would be alive, but God was very kind to save me," Pant said on "Dhawan Karenge", a talk show hosted by India cricketer Shikhar Dhawan.
"I couldn't go to the airport because I was nervous about facing people in a wheelchair. I couldn't even brush my teeth for two months, and for six to seven months, I suffered unbearable pain," Pant recalled.
However, the flamboyant batter returned to action after 14 months in the recently concluded IPL, giving glimpses of his devastating best.&nbsp;

DC captain Rishabh Pant suspended for 1 match, will miss key clash against RCB in IPL 2024

DC captain Rishabh Pant has been suspended for the match against RCB on Sunday evening. 

Delhi Capitals were 10 minutes behind in the game against the Rajasthan Royals - their 3rd slow-over rate offence of the season which resulted in Pant's suspension.

Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant has been suspended for the match against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on Sunday evening. The 26-year-old has received a one-match suspension and a fine of INR 30 lakh due to his team's slow over-rate during their May 7th match against the Rajasthan Royals. The disciplinary action was taken because the Capitals were found to be 10 minutes behind schedule at the commencement of the final over of that game. This incident marked the team's third slow over-rate offence this season, triggering more severe penalties.
As a result of these repeated infractions, the match referee's decision to impose a suspension and fine on Pant was significant. Additionally, the rest of the Delhi Capitals squad, including the impact substitute, has been penalized with a fine of INR 12 lakh each, or 50% of their match fee, whichever amount is smaller.
Following the match referee's ruling, the Delhi Capitals management submitted an appeal, which was subsequently referred to the BCCI Ombudsman for further review. After a virtual hearing, the Ombudsman upheld the original decision, affirming that the match referee's conclusions were final and binding.
The timing of Pant's suspension is particularly impactful as he will be absent for the crucial upcoming match against RCB on Sunday, May 12. This game is especially critical as Delhi Capitals continue their push to secure a spot in the IPL playoffs. Pant&rsquo;s absence in such a pivotal fixture could pose additional challenges for the team as they strive to maintain their momentum in the tournament.

Rishabh Pant's punishing diet: How Indian cricketer lost 16 kgs to get in top shape for T20 World Cup

From rigorous diets to switched off gadgets and unending training, a lot more than meets the eye has been pumped into sculpting Pant back to form.&nbsp;

Rishabh Pant's return to the Indian side was never in doubt given his superb form in the 2024 IPL season but it is always important to go back to the depths he came out from following his horrific accident sixteen months ago.&nbsp; Today, the 26-year-old stands tall with the rest of his Team India mates but from rigorous diets to switched off gadgets and unending training, a lot more than meets the eye has been pumped into sculpting Pant back to form.&nbsp; As per a Times of India report, Pant has lost a total of 16 KGs in the run up to the IPL in March, and now is 9 kilograms lighter than December 2022, when his accident occurred.&nbsp; But this weight loss did not come easy. The southpaw moved into a rented home in Bengaluru as he trained with the NCA to be able to avail home-cooked food.&nbsp; His favourite delicacies rasmalai, biryani and fried chicken were cut off from his diet as he adopted a calorie-deficit approach towards eating.&nbsp; A BCCI source, involved with his rehabilitation revealed to TOI, 'He adopted a calorie-deficit diet since late December (2023). If his body demanded 1400 calories a day, he was given around 1000 calories. It was tough on him since he had to train very hard to gain match-fitness and had to strengthen the muscles on his injured right leg.'&nbsp; But the love for cricket could not triumph his love for 'chilly chicken'. The source revealed to TOI, 'He was allowed only 5 ml of extra virgin olive oil. He couldn&rsquo;t give up his love for chilly chicken. So, a recipe was derived to make it with that much oil.'&nbsp; And as the team at the NCA came up with creative alternatives to nurse Pant back to his zenith, return to the sport demanded more sacrifices.&nbsp; A strict sleep schedule meant all gadgets would be shut off and it would be lights-out by 11 PM, enabling the prolific batter to get his 8-9 hours of rest before training again next day.&nbsp; Closer to his comeback, a fit-again Rishabh Pant eventually took up batting two and a half hours everyday. He then resumed keeping as IPL drew closer, a 45-minute session per day.&nbsp; In 2024 season, the Delhi skipper has led from the front, scoring 398 runs, including a personal best of 88* at a strike-rate of 158.57.&nbsp;

When Delhi were 37/3, the onus was on skipper Pant to bail them out. However, he looked clueless against Varun Chakravarthy, who has been his nemesis in the IPL.

Rishabh Pant: A bad day in the office for Delhi Capitals skipper in Kolkata | IPL 2024, KKR vs DC

Rishabh Pant might have been in great form in IPL 2024 but the DC skipper not only failed with the bat against KKR but also made a few questionable decisions.

When Delhi were 37/3, the onus was on skipper Pant to bail them out. However, he looked clueless against Varun Chakravarthy, who has been his nemesis in the IPL.

Rishabh Pant might have been in great form in IPL 2024 but the Delhi Capitals skipper not only failed with the bat against the Kolkata Knight Riders but also made a few questionable decisions.
Even before the first ball, Pant's decision to bat first at Eden Gardens left many fans and experts surprised, given how dew has aided teams chasing at this ground.
In the previous match in Kolkata, the Punjab Kings chased down 262 in just 18.4 overs, which was the highest successful run-chase in IPL history.&nbsp;
DC tried to go ultra-aggressive in their approach but what followed were careless shots and a batting collapse.
When Delhi were 37/3, the onus was on skipper Pant to bail them out. However, he looked clueless against Varun Chakravarthy, who has been his nemesis in the IPL.
Trying to slog the mystery spinner, Pant got a lifeline when he was dropped on 18. But the DC skipper once again tried to play a rash shot of Chakravarthy and was dismissed for 27.
Interestingly, the KKR spinner has bowled 30 balls to Pant and has conceded just 31 runs and has dismissed the Southpaw thrice. Pant also averages just over 10 in this process.
In the end, top-class bowling by Chakravarthy saw him end with figures of 3/16 in 4 overs, getting the wickets of Pant, Tristan Stubbs and Axar Patel.

As the selectors get set to announce India's squad for the tournament beginning 2, a report in Cricinfo claimed that Pant might be made Rohit Sharma's deputy.

Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya frontrunners for vice-captaincy in T20 World Cup - Report

About a couple of months ago, Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya were in rehabilitation and there were doubts over their fitness. Fast forward to today, and either one of them is likely to be appointed as Team India's vice-captain for the T20 World Cup 2024.

About a couple of months ago, Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya were in rehabilitation and there were doubts over their fitness. Fast forward to today, and either one of them is likely to be appointed as Team India's vice-captain for the T20 World Cup 2024.
As the selectors get set to announce India's squad for the tournament beginning 2, a Cricbuzz report claimed that Pant might be made Rohit Sharma's deputy. Interestingly, he was India's vice-captain in T20Is when Hardik Pandya was leading the side in Rohit's absence.
Pant, who is the frontrunner for the wicketkeeper's role at the T20 World Cup, had even captained India in the 5-match T20I series against South Africa in June 2022.&nbsp;
The report further claimed that another potential candidate for the vice-captaincy role is Hardik Pandya. However, the reason why Pant holds an edge over the Mumbai Indians' skipper is due to Hardik's questionable decision-making in IPL 2024 and his meagre returns with both bat and ball.&nbsp;
Hardik was once in contention to lead India at the T20 World Cup as Rohit hadn't played any international T20s for more than a year. In his absence, Hardik captained the team in most bilateral T20I series.

Hardik Pandya was taken to the cleaners in his 2 overs on the day, giving away 41 runs as Delhi Capitals posted a massive 257 on the board.

<h2>Hardik Pandya was taken to the cleaners in his 2 overs on the day, giving away 41 runs as Delhi Capitals posted a massive 257 on the board.</h2>

The 22-year-old opener, Fraser-McGurk, took center stage with a stellar 27-ball 84, setting the tone for the Capitals' innings right after they were sent in to bat. His remarkable knock featured a barrage of boundaries that left the Mumbai bowlers scrambling for answers. While Fraser-McGurk was the main architect of the high score, he was well-supported by his teammates.
Abishek Porel, partnering with Fraser-McGurk at the top, contributed a solid 27-ball 36, helping to build a strong foundation for the innings. Following the openers, Shai Hope kept up the momentum with a rapid 17-ball 41, ensuring that the Capitals did not lose steam in their batting onslaught.
The captain, Rishabh Pant, played a swift cameo that added further impetus to Delhi's innings. The finishing touches were provided by Tristan Stubbs, who smashed an unbeaten 48 off just 25 balls, propelling Delhi past the 250-run landmark, a feat that underscored their batting depth and prowess.
The Mumbai Indians' bowling attack struggled to contain the Capitals' hitters. Except for Jasprit Bumrah and Piyush Chawla, who managed to stem the flow of runs to some extent, the other bowlers faced severe punishment. Hardik Pandya was notably expensive, conceding 41 runs in just two overs. Luke Wood and Nuwan Thushara also had tough outings, giving away 68 and 56 runs respectively from their four-over quotas.

Pant's consistent show of strength in batting and keeping have boosted his chances of making it to the 2024 T20 World Cup squad of India.

IPL: Rishabh Pant all but seals World Cup spot after blistering 88* | DC vs GT 

Pant's consistent show of strength in batting and keeping have boosted his chances of making it to the 2024 T20 World Cup squad of India.

Delhi Capitals' Rishabh Pant's comeback year just keeps getting better and better.&nbsp; After a disappointing start to the Delhi leg of the 2024 season, Pant led his side to a much-needed victory against a struggling Gujarat Titans.&nbsp; With his blistering and unbeaten 88 off 43 deliveries, Pant alongwith Tristant Stubbs and Axar Patel took his team to a mammoth 224 while also amassing 300 runs in an IPL edition for the first time in two years.&nbsp; Speaking after the post-match presentation, Pant admitted that he feels better every time he steps onto the field, 'Everyday that I'm in the middle, I feel better. Every hour on the field matters, I love being on the field.'&nbsp; The prolific southpaw went on to add, 'I try to give it my 100% and it takes some time sometimes. I think the first six in the match gives me the confidence in a game. The more time I spend in the centre, the better I feel.'&nbsp; Pant's consistent show of strength in batting and keeping have also boosted his chances of making it to the 2024 T20 World Cup squad of India. And now, the 43-ball 88 seems to have all but sealed a spot for the 26-year-old.&nbsp;

The last encounter between the Delhi Capitals and the Gujarat Titans took place a week back and ended favourably for Pant’s team, where they managed to bowl out Shubman Gill's team for just 89.

IPL 2024: DC vs GT preview - Form guide, head-to-head record, team changes, weather, probable XI

<h2>The last encounter between the Delhi Capitals and the Gujarat Titans took place a week back and ended favourably for Pant&rsquo;s team, where they managed to bowl out Shubman Gill's team for just 89.</h2>

The Delhi Capitals, led by Rishabh Pant, are set to face the Gujarat Titans in a crucial IPL 2024 clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, aiming to bounce back after a challenging outing against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Positioned just two points behind the Gujarat Titans in the standings, a victory in this upcoming match would allow Delhi to surpass their rivals on the points table.
The last encounter between the Delhi Capitals and the Gujarat Titans ended favourably for Pant&rsquo;s team, giving them a confidence boost as they prepare for this rematch. However, their most recent performance against SRH highlighted significant weaknesses in their bowling attack, as they allowed the opposition to rack up a massive total of 266. This was largely due to the formidable batting by Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, who annihilated the Capitals' bowlers in the powerplay.
The Delhi Capitals are particularly eager to see improvements from their pacers, who will need to step up if the team hopes to contain the Titans' lineup. The previous victory over the Titans provides a psychological edge and a tactical blueprint for success, suggesting that a well-executed strategy could lead to another win.
On the other side, the Gujarat Titans are coming into this game with momentum from a narrow victory over Punjab, clinched in the final over with Rahul Tewatia playing the hero once again. However, consistent performances from their batters remain a concern for the Titans. Apart from Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan, who have shown some promise, the rest of the batting lineup has struggled to make significant impacts. Sudharsan, however, has also failed to convert his starts into bigger scores, a factor that could be crucial in the upcoming match.
Team news
Ishant Sharma, who was ruled out of the clash against SRH just minutes before the toss due to a back spasm, should return to the lineup. While Ishant is expected to replace Lalit Yadav, DC will most likely play Shai Hope in the place of Anrich Nortje as their fourth overseas star.
For Gujarat, Shahrukh Khan has hardly made any impact and will likely be replaced by Vijay Shankar or Abhinav Manohar. Even Azmatullah Omarzai might make way for Spencer Johnson.
Head-to-Head record
The two teams have locked horns 4 times in the past, with the head-to-head score currently at 2 each. In their last meeting only a week back, the Capitals defeated GT by 6 wickets, where Shubman Gill's men were bundled out for just 89.
Weather Report
It will be a hot day in Delhi with temperatures nearing the 40&deg;C mark. The evening will be slightly cooler but only just.

IPL 2024: DC vs SRH: Rishabh Pant admits misjudging dew factor after 67-run loss to Hyderabad

SRH went on to score 266/7 and then dismissed the home side for 199 in 19.1 overs for a 67-run win and go second on the table.

Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant conceded his side was literally doing catchup all through the match after Sunrisers Hyderabad made a huge 'power play' statement smashing 125 runs to create an IPL record at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday.
SRH's Travis Head (89, 32 balls) and Abhishek Sharma (46, 12 balls) took power play to a different level, erasing the previous record of 105/0 by KKR against RCB in 2017.
SRH went on to score 266/7 and then dismissed the home side for 199 in 19.1 overs for a 67-run win and go second on the table.
"I think power play was the difference. We were just catching up throughout the match. That was the massive difference. Hopefully, we will come back with more thought process and clear mindset," said Pant, whose 'homecoming' was spoilt by Head and Sharma's 131-run partnership.
The DC skipper also said he probably misjudged the dew factor at the Arun Jaitley Stadium and decided to bowl first after winning the toss.
"The only thought process behind that (deciding to bowl first) was we thought there would be some dew but it didn't come. I thought if we could restrict them to 220-230, we would be in with a chance." SRH bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar got just one wicket but his restrictive spell in the high-scoring match -- 33 runs in 4 overs -- played a vital role in the easy win.
"Feeling good. Not among the wickets but the way I want to execute it is happening. Just a matter of time," said the pace-bowling stalwart.
"When defending those many runs, you either go for plenty or you get wickets. We accepted that we'll go for plenty of runs when defending those many runs, but the plan was to keep executing," he added.
Bhuvneshwar praised his fellow pacer T Natarajan's bowling, who was twice on a hat-trick in a single over and ended up with superb figures of 4/19 in four overs "Amazing. We know how good he is at yorkers. He keeps working hard, silent guy, goes unnoticed a lot. We know how important he is for Sunrisers," said Bhuvneshwar, adding that he is happy that SRH batting is finally clicking after several years.
"For so many years, this is the first time our batting is clicking so much. As a bowling unit, happy to take the back seat. They (batters) are ruining us... when we defend 180 or so, it'll feel like less," he said.
Bhuvneshwar added both Head and Abhishek bat in the same manner at nets.
"Yes, same, especially Head and Abhishek, playing the same way. Batters sometimes play opposite (manner) in the nets, but they play the same way." The pacer indicated that bowlers don't get their due despite all the hard work but, in the end, they win championships for teams.
"Bowling is something... somebody says batting wins your sponsorship, but bowling wins you championship. The way we are bowling right now looks bad on the scorecard but it is pretty good for us," he said.
Player of the Match, Head said he was in good space following the match-winning knock.
"On a bit of a roll there. Enjoyable, boys are on a roll. When you're in good form, just trying to keep it simple. Reacted to the ball." He praised opening partner Abhishek for going all out against spinners.
"First time we saw spin in the powerplay last game, and seeing how aggressive he is against spin, we try to let him do his thing against spin. He did it today too," said Head.

The ICC has set May 1 as the cut-off date for the boards to announce their provisional squads and the BCCI is likely to finalise the Indian squad by the end of April.

<h2>Rishabh Pant's sensational catch to send David Miller back also reduced the Gujarat Titans to 30/4, further tightening DC's grip on the contest.</h2>

In a display of exceptional agility and sharp instincts, Rishabh Pant made headlines with an incredible catch during Wednesday evening's IPL match against the Gujarat Titans. The moment of brilliance occurred in the 5th over, delivered by Ishant Sharma, and got rid of Gujarat Titans' powerhouse, David Miller.
At 30/3, David Miller attempted to play a back of a length delivery from the veteran Indian pacer and could only manage an inside edge onto the thigh pad. Pant, initially moving to his right in anticipation of the ball's path, showcased his quick reflexes by suddenly diving to his left after the ball took an unexpected deflection off Miller&rsquo;s body. His effort culminated in a spectacular diving catch, securing the ball just inches above the ground, much to the astonishment of spectators and teammates alike.
Despite the on-field umpire's initial decision of not out, Pant, confident that the ball had nicked the bat, opted for a review after consulting with his teammates. The replay confirmed Pant's keen observation: the ball had indeed taken a significant inside edge off Miller's bat, hitting the thigh pad, and then diverting towards Pant. Even though the dynamic wicket-keeper had initially misread the trajectory, his swift correction and athletic dive enabled him to execute the catch flawlessly.

In a strange incident during the Delhi Capitals' IPL match against the Lucknow Super Giants, captain Rishabh Pant got into an argument with the onfield umpire over a wide call. The confusion arose in the fourth over of LSG's innings when Pant appeared to challenge an on-field wide call made by the umpire Yeshwant Barde.
The situation escalated when the third umpire was called to review the decision. Despite Pant&rsquo;s apparent dissatisfaction, the review confirmed the original wide call. The incident led to an exchange between Pant and square leg umpire Rohan Pandit, sparking speculation among spectators and commentators about the nature of the disagreement.

The moment was met with mixed reactions. On one side, there was clear evidence that Pant had indeed signaled for a review. However, the captain's reaction suggested either a possible change of heart or confusion about the seriousness of his initial gesture.
