With our first win of IPL 2024 on the agenda, Delhi Capitals are ready to roar today. We are up against Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, our second away game in a row.
Our Head Coach, Ricky Ponting, opined on the team's performance after a defeat in the opening encounter against Punjab Kings at Mohali, motivating the group to bounce back strong for the clash in Jaipur.
Putting in the hard yards for our first win:
The DC Boys were sweating it out at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium with a first win of the campaign being well and truly on the agenda.
Rishabh Pant completed a much-anticipated return at Mohali. We can only expect big things from our captain in the upcoming matches.
Our Protea speedster, Anrich Nortje, has joined the squad and will be in contention for the upcoming game in the Pink City.
Players to watch out for:
David Warner:
David Warner needs no introduction to IPL fans. The Australian southpaw is the most experienced batter in our lineup. While Warner can be explosive from the word go and maximise the powerplay, he can also adjust his game in a crucial situation and make the most of it.
Shai Hope:
Shai Hope made his IPL debut in our previous game and looked impressive against the Punjab Kings. He was also our highest run-scorer in our opening encounter. Hope is an experienced T20 player with 11 50-plus scores in the format. Considering his recent form, the Barbados wicketkeeper-batter will be a key player in the middle order.
Kuldeep Yadav:
Kuldeep Yadav’s rise in recent years has been sensational. The most successful left-arm wrist spinner in IPL history became the pick of our bowlers by picking the wickets of Prabhsimran Singh and Jitesh Sharma while conceding only 20 runs in 4 overs.
Rishabh Pant:
Rishabh Pant has been the key to our success against Rajasthan Royals in recent times. He has scored 4 fifties in 9 matches against the Royals at a strike rate of 170 while averaging 59.5. Our captain boasts a good record at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, scoring 115 runs in 3 T20s with a highest score of 78*.
Abishek Porel:
Talented left-hander, Abishek Porel who came in as an impact sub in the last game, added vital runs in the final overs and helped us to put up a fighting total on the board. He faced only 10 deliveries and made 32 runs courtesy of 4 fours and 2 sixes.
Battle of the biggies:
Axar Patel vs Sanju Samson
Axar Patel has been our go-to bowler against Sanju Samson when stopping the flow of runs. Rishabh Pant can throw the ball at him to contain runs in the powerplay.
Samson has a strike rate of 111.66 against our all-rounder, Axar. The Royals skipper, meanwhile, has fallen prey to Axar twice.
David Warner vs Yuzvendra Chahal
Our explosive opener, David Warner tackles IPL’s leading wicket-taker, Yuzvendra Chahal, exceptionally well and has got an upper hand against the spinner.
Warner has scored 155 runs off 94 balls against Chahal at an impressive strike rate of 164.89. Our opener will once again look to unsettle the rhythm of Chahal and score some quick runs against him.
