PBKS vs DC, IPL 2021: Today match players list & umpires

The Punjab Kings will take on the Delhi Capitals in Match 29 of IPL 2021 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Unfortunately, Punjab will play this match without their skipper KL Rahul, who has been hospitalized.

Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant won the toss in Ahmedabad and invited the Punjab Kings to bat first. When these two teams battled earlier this season, the Capitals chased a 196-run target to beat the Kings at Wankhede Stadium.

Rishabh Pant announced at the toss that there were no changes in the Delhi Capitals lineup. Meanwhile, the Mohali-based franchise won their last match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, but KL Rahul's unavailability compelled them to make a few changes.

World number one T20I batsman Dawid Malan received his maiden IPL cap ahead of the fixture against the Delhi Capitals.

The Kings made a couple of changes to their lineup. Mayank Agarwal, who missed the IPL 2021 game against RCB due to fitness issues, came in for KL Rahul, while Dawid Malan replaced Nicholas Pooran.
