Delhi Capitals batters were off to a great start this season helping the team to a 37-run win over Mumbai. Despite not having an impressive head-to-head against Chennai, Shreyas Iyer will be adamant to lead his young side to a win over the defending champions.
The Sports Rush predicts the playing XI for the Delhi Capitals against Chennai Super Kings:
Prithvi Shaw:
The right-hander did not get himself to a great start in the tournament, being dismissed for just 7. However, he will be looking forward to improve himself and carry the promise that he showed last season.
Shikhar Dhawan:
After being traded in from SunRisers Hyderabad, the ever-consistent Shikhar Dhawan got off to a good start to the IPL. His amazing stroke-play in the power play and good situation analysis will make him a permanent spot at the top of the order.
Shreyas Iyer (c):
Shreyas Iyer will be happy following a brilliant win over Mumbai Indians. Iyer had a good start against Mumbai, but failed to carry on. However, his performances over the past years will make him an automatic choice.
Colin Ingram:
Coming on the back off brilliant seasons in the PSL and the BBL, Colin Ingram made his IPL debut in the game against Mumbai, scoring a good 47. With that said, his current form will make him one to watch out for against CSK.
Hanuma Vihari:
The right-handed batsman was unable to make it to the playing XI against Mumbai. With Delhi being short of batting all-rounders, it will be safe for Delhi to opt for Vihari to stabilize the innings in case of a collapse.
Rishabh Pant (wk):
Rishabh Pant won the man of the match following a sizzling 27-ball 78 in the opening game for Delhi. His brilliant hitting on the leg side and brilliant wicket-keeping skills also make him a permanent fixture in the Capitals side.
Axar Patel:
Axar Patel is another handy all-rounder that will be very important to Delhi considering the team does not have enough all-round options until Chris Morris is available. Till then, Axar Patel will be hoping to prove himself as an all-rounder.
Kagiso Rabada:
The right-arm pace bowler has become one of the world’s best bowlers in the past few years. Adding to his brilliant bowling abilities, the left-hander can also hit the long-ball, making him a good addition to the side.
Sandeep Lamichanne:
The superstar leg-spinner from Nepal, Sandeep Lamichanne was left out of the playing XI in the previous game. However, the pitch conditions in Mumbai did not favour a spinner, as Iyer hesitated before giving the ball to a spinner. With that said, Lamichanne’s addition will strengthen Delhi’s spin attack in good conditions in Delhi.
Ishant Sharma:
The Indian pacer had a good game against Mumbai picking up a wicket in his four-over spell. Ishant’s return to form has been visible in the IPL last season, meaning he will be important for Shreyas Iyer this season.
Trent Boult:
The Kiwi pacer will be hoping to perform in more favourable conditions at the Feroz Shah Kotla. Boult has a good record against the right-handers, and with CSK having a lot of right-handers, he will be a great inclusion.
