Lucknow Super Giants: Delhi Capitals' (DC) hope to qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs still hangs in the balance despite culminating their league stage campaign with a 19-run win over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Tuesday but team director Sourav Ganguly is pleased with captain Rishabh Pant's leadership skills in his comeback season and expects it to flourish in coming years.

With 14 points in as many games, Delhi sit in the fifth spot in the points table and are dependent upon different permutations and combinations to qualify for the knockout round.

Pant returned to cricketing action in IPL 2024 after more than a year of injury layoff following a fatal car accident in December 2022.
