IPL 2023 Watch: Ishant Sharma Pulls The PBKS Star Off-Balance Before Viciously Sending Livingstone Off With A Flying Kiss

The Delhi Capitals got off to a good start in their match against the Punjab Kings. Which needed to be won, by taking three quick wickets.

During the powerplay put the team led by Shikhar Dhawan was on the back foot. Shikhar Dhawan (seven) and Liam Livingstone (four) were two crucial wickets that the team’s veteran Indian pacer Ishant Sharma took, giving the team another great start.

With seven defeats in 11 games, the Delhi Capitals are having a difficult 2023 season in the Indian Premier League. They legitimately have a game against Punjab Kings. They must win in order to keep themselves in the running for playoff qualification.

The team had a forgettable start to the competition. Suffering five straight losses before snapping the losing streak on April 20 against Kolkata Knight Riders.

After that, the team won three of its next four games before falling victim to MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings earlier this week in a fairly lopsided loss. To wrap up their league stage season. The Capitals will incidentally play both the Punjab Kings and CSK again.

The PBKS, meanwhile, are currently in eighth place in the standings with 10 points after 11 games. With a victory over DC, the Kings can move up to sixth place. And if they win by a wide margin, displace Rajasthan Royals to move up to fifth.

Ishant Sharma provided DC with its first wicket in the second over of the game after David Warner won the toss and elected to bowl at the Arun Jaitley Stadium earlier.

The Indian pacer struck again in the fifth over before Axar Patel early in the innings removed a dangerous Jitesh Sharma (2).
