The 2020 season was the thirteenth edition of the IPL. Mumbai Indians (MI), the defending champions, successfully retained their title with a five-wicket win over DC in the final on November 10, 2020. DC opted to bat first and posted a total of 156/7, which MI comfortably chased down.
26-year-old Pant will captain the Delhi-based franchise in IPL 2024 as he has received clearance and approval from the National Cricket Academy (NCA) to lead the DC team in the upcoming season.
