Top 3 talking points from Delhi Capitals’ group stage campaign in IPL 2024

The Delhi Capitals have completed their league stage with all 14 matches played. Notably, the Rishabh Pant-led side has a very low chance of making it to the playoffs with seven wins in the tournament due to their poor net run rate, standing in the fifth spot.

It seems that DC is mathematically still in the IPL 2024 playoff race, but it is safe to say they are virtually out of the marquee event. However, despite that, the side seems to have lots of positives this time.

In the same vein, here are the top 3 talking points from Delhi Capitals’ group stage campaign in IPL 2024.

The Emergence of Jake Fraser-McGurk

The Delhi Capitals have found the perfect opener this year as the Australian cricketer showed his sublime form in the ongoing marquee event. The 22-year-old cricketer has taken the IPL 2024 season by storm, smashing 330 runs from 8 matches with a solid strike rate of 237. 

However, despite that, he wasn’t able to place himself in the T20 World Cup 2024 squad. Meanwhile, Jake has contributed to some of the epic wins for the Delhi Capitals in the current season.

The Comeback of Rishabh Pant

India’s star cricketer Rishabh Pant has marked his great comeback in the IPL 2024. Notably, Pant’s solid form has helped him be in India’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad over KL Rahul this time. The 26-year-old cricketer took the onus on himself for his side as well as boosted the middle order.

Meanwhile, the Indian fans are ecstatic to see him in such great form as the pivotal member for the Men in Blue ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024.

The new Indian stars being found are Abishek Porel and Rasikh Salam Dar

Abhishek Porel showed his class in the game against LSG and guided his side to a tremendous win. Notably, the star cricketer has the full chance to continue his form and be in the national squad. The Indian side is already in need of middle-order batters and power hitters, and he seems to be in sublime form.

However, Rasikh Salam Dar also proved himself as the death-over specialist for the DC. In addition, the right-arm pacer had great economy and proved to be a lethal bowler for his side.
