On Saturday, May 24, Delhi Capitals locked horns against Punjab Kings at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Delhi Capitals won the toss and opted to field first, asking Shreyas Iyer-led side to bat first. PBKS, batting first, got off to the worst possible start as Priyansh Arya returned to the pavilion early on. 

Notably, on the 5th ball of the 2nd over, Arya looked to go big but found the top edge and Tristan Stubbs, who was keeping wickets, quickly took the catch. Meanwhile, it also drew fans' attention to Stubbs and they wondered why was the South Africa star batter with the gloves. 

Why Is KL Rahul And Abishek Porel Not In Playing XI?

It is worth noting that KL Rahul is not a part of the playing XI, as he was hit in the nets a few days ago and is being used just as an impact sub for the last two matches. Further, for the last game of the season, DC made several changes to the squad to test their squad and the management decided to bench Abishek Porel, who did wicket-keeping for Delhi Capitals for most of the match.

Talking about the ongoing match, at the time of writing this article, PBKS are 44/1 after 5 overs as Prabhsimran Singh and Josh Inglis are going strongly and pulled their side out of the crunch situation.
