Indian Premier League 2024 has started with a bang with Chennai Super Kings victory over Royal challengers Bengaluru in the Opening game at Chepauk. Now the IPL 2024’s convoy will travel all the way to Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, Mohali for the exciting DC vs PBKS clash between Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings. Here we have the top five players who we think could be the players to watch out for in the Match 2 of Tata IPL 2024 – Delhi Capitals Vs Punjab Kings !!
5 Players To Watch Out For In DC Vs PBKS
Mitchell Marsh
The proposed captain of the Australian cricket team for the upcoming T20 world cup, Mitchell Marsh is a heck of a talent. Marsh is a clean striker of the ball who comes with a wonderful ability to bowl some fierce pace on the track. Along with the ability, Marsh has headed to the IPl 2024 with good form, which he will be looking to cash in for his team in the PBKS vs DC battle.
Rishab Pant
After a 15-month break from cricket due to a life-threatening car accident, Rishabh Pant is all set to make his comeback to the competitive sport. He has received the clearance from BCCI to play as the wicket keeper batsman. Delhi capitals’ management has instantly handed over the captaincy to Pant prior to the start of the new season. All this story is enough to keep an eye wide open fixed on Pant on his comeback. We hope he plays like he never left as Indian Cricket Fans have missed Pant a lot in the past year and a half.

Kagiso Rabada
The pace battery from South Africa, Kagiso Rabada has always performed ever since he made his debut in the Indian Premier League. He has won a Purple Cap in 2020 and missed the same in 2022 by the barest of margins. Not only the wicket count, his presence in the team itself is threatening for the opposition. Punjab has failed to qualify in the playoffs since 2014, and they would be in a good mood to turn the things in their favour. If they really want to do so, they have to start their campaign with a bang against Delhi, and for that Rabada’s performance will be a crucial one.
Kuldeep Yadav
If anyone has impressed the whole cricket fraternity the most in the past one year, it has to be Kuldeep Yadav without a doubt. He is in a great shape and mindset, and would be eyeing to continue the form for his franchise as well. Although his record against Punjab is not very pleasing as he has scalped only 8 wickets in as many matches. But Kuldeep would be looking to better these numbers and thus, he is one of the key players to keep an eye on in the DC vs PBKS match in IPL 2024.
Harshal Patel
Most expensive Indian player at the IPL Auction 2024, Harshal Patel has already a lot to prove in the new season of IPL. What he can do with the ball is not unknown to us. Harshal won Purple Cap in 2021 and must be looking to prove his worth and justify the trust shown by Punjab Kings’ management on him.
