Prithvi Shaw misses out on Delhi Capitals’ playing eleven for their opening IPL 2024 game against Punjab Kings. The young opener is sidelined as Rishabh Pant-led Delhi are forced to bat first against Punjab Kings in the second match of the tournament at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur.
Shikhar Dhawan won the crucial toss in the afternoon fixture on Saturday and elected to bowl first. Jonny Bairstow returned to the playing eleven after missing the 2023 season due to an injury. The English wicketkeeper batter joined compatriots Sam Curran and Liam Livingstone, and South African speedster Kagiso Rabada to fill overseas slots.
New signing Harshal Patel is also part of Punjab’s playing XI to form an impressive pace attack with Arshdeep Singh, Sam Curran and Rabada.
