By Two days after Holi, Rajasthan Royals players still carry remnants of ‘organic’ gulaal, inadvertently sporting their franchise’s colors. Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals’ attention shifts from jersey hues to the return of their captain, Rishabh Pant. With Pant’s comeback, expectations soar as he juggles batting, keeping, and leadership duties after a hiatus of a year and a half. However, the question looms: can Pant single-handedly mask all of DC’s weaknesses?
Despite promising seasons in 2020 and 2021, Delhi Capitals have witnessed a sharp decline in performance over the past two years. With 10 losses in their last 15 games, the team grapples with injuries, unavailability, and inconsistent form.

While the bowling unit appears ready, the onus lies on the batters to rise to the occasion. The Sawai Mansingh Stadium’s pitch conditions might pose challenges, demanding adaptability from both teams.
