IPL 2024: Nortje, Mukesh Come In As DC Win Toss, Elect To Bowl First Against RR In Pant’s 100th IPL Game
Sawai Man Singh Stadium: Delhi Capitals have won the toss and elected to bowl first against Rajasthan Royals in match nine of IPL 2024 at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium here on Thursday. So far, all eight matches in the tournament have been won by home teams. The match is also the 100th IPL outing for skipper Rishabh Pant for Delhi Capitals, a side he's been a part of since 2016, making him the first player from the franchise to reach this landmark in the IPL.
On March 23, Pant made a return to competitive cricket action after a 14-month layoff due to injuries suffered in a car accident in December 2022 via DC’s tournament opener against Punjab Kings at Mullanpur near Mohali, which the side lost by four wickets.
After winning the toss, Pant said pacers Anrich Nortje and Mukesh Kumar come into the playing XI in place of Shai Hope, who has a back spasm, and Ishant Sharma, who hasn’t recovered yet from the ankle injury sustained while fielding in the match at Mullanpur.
