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.
