Rishabh Pant takes on Rohit Sharma's captaincy before DC vs MI match

Rishabh Pant is enjoying a fruitful IPL 2024 season. The DC captain made his return to competitive cricket following a period of recuperation following injuries sustained in a fatal car accident in 2022. Pant is currently fourth in the Orange Cap standings, having scored 342 runs in nine matches. Following a series of impressive performances, Pant is in contention for selection in the Indian squad for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.

The Delhi Capitals will face the Mumbai Indians in a highly anticipated clash on April 27 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. In the run-up to the match, Rishabh Pant has expressed his admiration for Rohit Sharma:

“With Rohit bhai you can share a lot of innovative ideas. He is very open and proactive. He listens carefully and gives his feedback. He is very thoughtful, he does not act on instinct, he knows when to apply a specific strategy, he’s a very result-oriented person.” 

In a highly competitive match against GT, Rishabh Pant demonstrated remarkable batting skills, scoring an impressive 88 runs in just 43 balls, which helped his team achieve a challenging total of 224. Pant demonstrated remarkable batting prowess, striking eight sixes and five fours. He assumed a leadership role, driving the team's performance.

DC currently occupies the sixth position in the points table, while MI has experienced difficulties under the leadership of Hardik Pandya. The five-time IPL champions are currently ranked eighth.
