Ahead of the match, all eyes were on one player; DC skipper Rishabh Pant. The wicketkeeper was making his third appearance in a competitive game since his car accident in December 2022, which left him fighting for his life.
He missed IPL 2023 and the World Cup as a result but has received the green light from the National Cricket Academy (NCA) to play in the IPL as a wicketkeeper and a batter. Pant's astonishing recovery from the injury has come ahead of schedule.
