<p>TATA IPL 2023 is getting closer by the minute. Rishabh Pant, the star batter of the Indian cricket team, met with a major accident just a fortnight ago. His knee was ruptured in the accident, and he needed three surgeries to regain full fitness.</p>



<p>He is still in recovery mode and is yet to be discharged from the hospital. However, in a recent interview, Rickey Ponting had a very fun take on the presence of Rishabh Pant in the IPL. Here is a look at what the coach of the Delhi Capitals had to say about his presence in the TATA IPL 2023 season:&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Ricky Ponting Wants Rishabh Pant in the Dugout During TATA IPL 2023:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>In the interview, Ricky Ponting had a great suggestion. He had a say that if Rishabh Pant cannot take part in the TATA IPL 2023 as a player, he can certainly join the team in the dugout and make sure that he is present. The idea behind this is the fact that Rishabh Pant is a ?cultural leader? and his presence will add value to the TATA IPL 2023.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/RIshabh-Pant-e1673922425189.jpg" alt="Rishabh Pant" class="wp-image-101196"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">It was last week, that Rishabh gave an update on his fitness from his Twitter account and thanked these 2 gentlemen to save his life. IMG SRC: MSN</figcaption></figure>



<p>He is someone who has the power to inspire young players via mere presence. When enquired about this topic, this is what Ricky Ponting had to say on the ICC Review, ?You can?t replace those guys, simple as that. They don?t grow on trees, players like that. We?ve got to look at ? and we already are ? a replacement to come into the squad, a wicketkeeper-batsman. If he?s actually not physically fit enough to play, we?d still love to have him around. He?s the sort of cultural leader around the group, being the captain, and that attitude and infectious smile and laughs he has is what we all love so much about him.?&nbsp;</p>



<p>?If he?s actually able to travel and be around the team, then I want him sitting beside me in the dugout every day of the week. I?ll certainly be making sure, come the middle of March when we get together in Delhi and start our camps and stuff, if he?s able to be there, then I want him around the whole time?, the former Australian captain elaborated.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Rishabh Pant Out for Most of Cricket in 2023:&nbsp;</h2>

IMG SRC: BCCI.</figcaption></figure>



<p>If we were to consider only the actual facts. It can be believed that Rishabh Pant has been ruled out of most to all of the cricket in 2023. He was supposed to be an integral part of the scheme of things of the Indian cricket team for the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023 which is supposed to be played in India. He will also miss the WTC final if the Indian team qualifies for it. Further, he is certain to miss all of IPL 2023. Here is a look at the significant events which Rishabh may miss:&nbsp;</p>



<ol start="1">
<li>All of TATA IPL 2023.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>



<ol start="2">
<li>Asia Cup 2023. &nbsp;</li>
</ol>



<ol start="3">
<li>World Test Championship 2021-2023 Crucial Matches.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>



<ol start="4">
<li>ICC ODI World Cup 2023. &nbsp;</li>
</ol>



<h2>Likely Replacement for Rishabh Pant in TATA IPL 2023:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>If the Delhi Capitals are looking for an Indian wicket-keeper batter, they will not have many options to choose from. They will have to pick the likes of Sheldon Jackson. &nbsp;</p>

TATA IPL 2023: Rishabh Pant to Take Part in IPL 2023? Here is What Ricky Ponting Had to Say.&nbsp;

tata-ipl-2023-rishabh-pant-to-take-part-in-ipl-2023-here-is-what-ricky-ponting-had-to-say

<p>The TATA IPL 2023 is on the way. With that being said, we will be witnessing several amazing games that will go down to the wire. There will be many last-ball finishes, and the games will get as close as possible. Over the years, the TATA IPL has given us many such matches and they have also given us many such moments to cherish. We have seen MS Dhoni lose his composure, we have seen Rahul Tewatia hit the last two balls for two sixes, and we have also seen Amit Mishra take 3 hat-tricks. So, which are the 3 most historic games in TATA IPL history? Here is a look:&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Rajasthan Royals VS Kolkata Knight Riders 19th Match TATA IPL 2014:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Ajinkya Rahane scored an elite 72 of 59 balls in the first innings to take the Rajasthan team to a formidable score of 152 in the first innings. He had given his bowlers a fighting chance to stay in the game. Shane Watson also scored a handy 33 runs. It was a team effort by KKR, and they managed to score 152 runs too. Shakib Al Hasan chipped in with 29 runs, Suryakumar scored 31 and Gambhir notched up 40. &nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/02/KKR-VS-RR.jpg" alt="TATA IPL 2023" class="wp-image-102742" title="TATA IPL 2023"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: Rajasthan Royals</figcaption></figure>



<p>The game ended in a tie and was pushed into the super over stage. In the super over the stage as well, the game was a tie. But it was the presence of Steve Smith and Shane Watson that took Rajasthan home. They required 3 runs off the last ball and Smith placed it very fine; it was so precise that they scampered through for 2 runs and RR won on boundary count. This game was a nail-biter!&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Rajasthan Royals VS Mumbai Indians TATA IPL 2014 Last League Stage Match:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Rajasthan Royals took on the Mumbai Indians in the last league game of 2014 and it is the best match in IPL history ever. The game was pure drama. The winner of this game would decide the qualification scenario for the playoffs. Rajasthan just needed a win and Mumbai needed a win with a decent margin. Rajasthan walked out to bat first and with the help of the fifties from Samson and Nair, they managed to get 189 runs on the board. &nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/02/Adittya-tare.jpg" alt="TATA IPL 2023" class="wp-image-102743" width="830" title="TATA IPL 2023"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">This game is one of the greatest games in the history of the TATA IPL. </figcaption></figure>



<p>The Mumbai Indians had to chase this score in 14.3 overs to win the game as well as qualify. Corey Anderson walked into bat and played the innings of a lifetime. He was smoking the RR bowlers. Every batter that walked in, was just trying to clear the fence. Rohit, Pollard, and Michael Hussey too. All of them did their small roles and hit a few out of the park. But Anderson stood strong, he scored 95 runs of 44 balls only. &nbsp;</p>



<p>Ambati Rayudu on the other hand scored 30 runs from 10 balls! This inning got Mumbai to 189 runs in 14.3 overs but to qualify, they had to get a boundary on the 4<sup>th</sup> ball of the 14<sup>th</sup> over. Aditya Tar walked out to bat and nonchalantly hit James Faulkner for a six over the sweeper. Mumbai won and Tare did a shirtless celebration too!&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Mumbai Indians VS Chennai Super Kings IPL Final 2019:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The Mumbai Indians VS Chennai Super Kings games of the TATA IPL have a special place in the heart. These TATA IPL games have an unmatched intensity. This is a long-standing rivalry of the TATA IPL. The 2019 TATA IPL final was one such game. With 2 runs required of 1 ball, Malinga managed to get a wicket and Mumbai got their 4<sup>th</sup> title. What a story! Here is a look. Kieron Pollard did very well and scored 41 runs of 25 balls to take Mumbai to a respectable 148 runs. &nbsp;</p>



<p>Then in the bowling department, Malinga went for runs at 12 an over and K Pandya went for 13 an over. But it was Rahul Chahar, the unsung hero along with Jasprit Bumrah. They bowled at 3.5 runs an over! And on the last ball, the magic of Lasith Malinga worked. He got rid of Shardul Thakur. CSK finished with 148 only! Mumbai Indians were champions!&nbsp;</p>

TATA IPL 2023: Top 3&nbsp;Historic Games in TATA IPL History. Best Matches of TATA IPL.&nbsp;

<p><strong>RCB vs DC PL 2024:</strong> It is a clash of hopes, it is a fight for their pride, it is RCB vs DC in the final leg of the Group stage of the TATA IPL 2024. A loss here will dump all the dreams of the fans of these two franchises which they have built up in the past week. Here we are with the RCB and DC Qualification Scenario For Playoffs before RCB vs DC in IPL 2024.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2><strong>Content:</strong></h2><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#rcb-vs-dc-match-preview">RCB vs DC Match Preview</a></li><li class=""><a href="#ipl-points-table-2024">IPL Points Table 2024</a></li><li class=""><a href="#rcb-and-dc-qualification-scenario">RCB and DC Qualification Scenario</a><ul><li class=""><a href="#rcb-qualification-scenario">RCB Qualification Scenario</a></li><li class=""><a href="#dc-qualification-scenario">DC Qualification Scenario</a></li></ul></li></ul></nav></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="rcb-vs-dc-match-preview"><strong>RCB vs DC Match Preview</strong></h2>



<p>Practically, the road of Playoffs for RCB is crushed already. The maximum they can reach is up to 14 points, which is nowhere near the qualification mark. Virat Kohli said that they are not looking at the points table at the moment and just want to play good cricket, but this contest is all it takes for their fortune in the TATA IPL 2024.</p>



<p>They will clash against a side that will miss their regular skipper due to a match ban following continuous slow overrate matches. Delhi Capitals are in a better condition than RCB as they have won 6 out of 12. They can reach 16 points if they take down RCB and LSG in their last fixture. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/11/Virat-Kihli-and-Shreyas-IyerRCB-vs-DC-1.jpg" alt="Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer(SC vs RCB)" class="wp-image-20685" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">RCB vs DC 2019 | Image - BCCI/IPL</figcaption></figure>



<p>Delhi Capitals will be led by Axar Patel in the match against RCB. If we look at the history, RCB has been dominating DC in the total 30 matches played between them with 18 wins. DC managed to win 11 and one ended without any result.</p>



<p>An important match and with the clouds over the head, pride will be on the line for both teams as the stage is set at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.</p>



<p>Let's take a look at IPL Points Table and the possible scenarios for RCB and DC to qualify:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ipl-points-table-2024"><strong>IPL Points Table 2024</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><thead><tr><th>POS</th><th>TEAMS</th><th>P</th><th>W</th><th>L</th><th>D</th><th>PTS</th><th>NRR</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1</td><td>Kolkata Knight Riders (Q)</td><td>12</td><td>9</td><td>3</td><td>0</td><td>18</td><td>1.428</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>Rajasthan Royals</td><td>11</td><td>8</td><td>3</td><td>0</td><td>16</td><td>0.476</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>Sunrisers Hyderabad</td><td>12</td><td>7</td><td>5</td><td>0</td><td>14</td><td>0.406</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>Chennai Super Kings</td><td>12</td><td>6</td><td>6</td><td>0</td><td>12</td><td>0.491</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>Delhi Capitals</td><td>12</td><td>6</td><td>6</td><td>0</td><td>12</td><td>-0.316</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>Lucknow Super Giants</td><td>12</td><td>6</td><td>6</td><td>0</td><td>12</td><td>-0.769</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>Royal Challengers Bengaluru</td><td>12</td><td>5</td><td>7</td><td>0</td><td>10</td><td>0.217</td></tr><tr><td>8</td><td>Gujarat Titans</td><td>12</td><td>5</td><td>7</td><td>0</td><td>10</td><td>-1.063</td></tr><tr><td>9</td><td>Mumbai Indians (E)</td><td>13</td><td>4</td><td>9</td><td>0</td><td>8</td><td>-0.271</td></tr><tr><td>10</td><td>Punjab Kings (E)</td><td>12</td><td>4</td><td>8</td><td>0</td><td>8</td><td>-0.423</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="rcb-and-dc-qualification-scenario"><strong>RCB and DC Qualification Scenario</strong></h2>



<p>The scenarios for both sides are full of all but "If". Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals, and Sunrisers Hyderabad are the three sides that are almost sure to qualify and the spot 4 is left with CSK, DC, LSG, and RCB fighting.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="rcb-qualification-scenario"><strong>RCB Qualification Scenario</strong></h4>



<p>First talking about RCB, they have played 12 matches till now and have won 5 and are left with two more to play; one against Delhi Capitals (today) and the second against Chennai Super Kings. They have to win both and expect that RR defeats CSK in the day match today. Also, they need either DC or MI or both to defeat LSG.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/03/CSKvsRCB-Match-1-1024x683.jpg" alt="IPL 2024 Points Table Updated on 23rd March after CSK vs RCB, Full Match Highlights" class="wp-image-128263" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: IPLT20</figcaption></figure>



<p>RCB have no threat from GT as they are very low on NRR. Bangalore are currently in 7th position in the points table and hold a good NRR.</p>



<ul>
<li>RCB need to defeat DC today</li>



<li>RCB need to defeat CSK on 18th May</li>



<li>RR to beat CSK today</li>



<li>DC, MI to defeat LSG with a small margin.</li>
</ul>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="dc-qualification-scenario"><strong>DC Qualification Scenario</strong></h4>



<p>The Capitals' path is clear and not very much dependent on others. They need to win both their remaining games with good margins to take care of their NRR and they will be in if they surpass the NRR of <a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-team/chennai-super-kings/58">CSK</a>.</p>

<ul>
<li>DC need to defeat RCB today</li>

<li>RCB or RR to defeat CSK</li>
</ul>

In IPL 2025, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) thrashed Delhi Capitals in Vizag with a fiery batting display. Nicholas Pooran stole the show, smashing 28 runs in an over off Tristan Stubbs, including four consecutive sixes, and scoring 75 off just 30 balls. Mitchell Marsh also hammered 72 off 36 balls. Axar Patel’s decision to bowl first backfired as LSG dominated, while Rishabh Pant got out for a duck.

KL Rahul will miss Delhi Capitals' IPL 2025 opener against Lucknow Super Giants due to personal reasons, as he returned home to be with his pregnant wife, Athiya Shetty. Rahul, who moved from Lucknow to Delhi this season, trained with the team but was not named in the playing XI. Delhi, now led by Axar Patel, has a new coaching setup with Hemang Badani as head coach. Both teams struggled last season, finishing sixth and seventh, and failed to make the playoffs.
