Indian Premier League is upon us. Very soon, different teams will battle it out in the game of cricket. The IPL has been around for a decade, and one of the oldest teams in the tournament are Delhi Capitals. Of course, since the years, there have been some changes in the line-up. But there’s one aspect that hasn’t changed. The grit and determination that the guys have to win the most coveted trophy today – the IPL remains. The boys have impressed us with their talent, skill and will to play with the biggest names in the country. Here’s the list of the 5 Delhi Capitals Best Players.
Delhi Capitals Best Players (The Veterans)
Shikhar Dhawan
Otherwise known to fans as Gabbar, Shikhar Dhawan has had a mercurial growth in the sport. He is one of the most prominent players on the side, and we can say that he is an inspiration to the newbies that have joined the game. Dhawan is popular for his hard-hitting and feisty knocks, what the commentators call the ‘winning knock’ most of the time. In the national team, he fills the space left empty by the likes of Virender Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh, and the same holds for his role in Delhi Capitals. Shikhar is still making it his world thought, with an average of around 36 and more than 5000 runs Dhawan has a lot of cricket in him, which we will see both on the national and international level, we are sure.
Ajyinka Rahane
Ajyinka Rahane is another hard-hitting batsman who’s on the star-studded list of the Delhi Capitals. With a total runs to score that just shy of 4000, Ajyinka will be looking out to make the most of this IPL outing. His career-best is hovering just above a 100, we are sure Rahane is greasing that bat to break his records and then some more.
Rishabh Pant
We can’t write anything about the Delhi Capitals without mentioning Rishabh Pant, the second-highest run-scorer among the Indian players in the team. Pant has the capability to turn around an innings all with his bat, and the good news for Delhi Capitals is that almost everyone in this list has that – making the IPL matches between Delhi Capitals and the others must-watch fare for everyone.
Ishant Sharma
If there’s one man who changed the aspect of Indian bowlers, it’s Ishant Sharma. Time and again, Indian captains have looked towards him to change the tide of an innings. Sharma has come out tops. Sharma is mostly silent on the field, just like his predecessors like Anil Kumble and Venkatesh Prasad. He’s deadly with the ball, and cricket batsmen globally are aware of this. On a particularly fruitful day, Sharma has scalped 5 wickets for 12 runs – making him one of the deadliest bowlers right now.
Delhi Capitals Best Players (The Newbies)
Prithvi Shaw
And coming up from the covers is Prithvi Shaw, the dynamic batsman who is the man to watch out for from the rooms of the Delhi Capitals. He’s scored a flurry of 1000 odd runs, and his highest until now is 99 – and no cricket batsman wants to remain on that number for long. So, expect his bat to do the talking all the while.
Umesh Yadav
Giving a great foil to Ishant Sharma to Umesh Yadav, the other bowler in the squad who gives some deadly blows to the wickets when the chips are down. With the best bowling figure of 4/24, Yadav is a formidable opponent and a worthy alliance.
While these are the people who will be on the ground, the one guy that we need to look out for in the team is Pravin Amre. Amre was part of the Indian cricket team during the heady decade of the 90s. He will have an ace up his sleeve when the going gets tough – and handing it over to Kaif, the man who played several great innings when cricket became a global sport will implement it.
In a Nutshell:
These are the five members of Delhi Capitals that the audience and cricket historians should watch out for. They are at the prime of their youth and career. They are looking at records meant to be broken. The IPL has given them the perfect platform to show off their skills and create a legacy for themselves. And all this in the presence of an audience weaned on some of the cricketing greats for decades.
The IPL this year will be held in Dubai because of the pandemic scare in the country. The first match starts on September 19, and it’s against Chennai Super Kings Vs Mumbai, in Dubai. The first Delhi Capitals match is against Sunrisers Hyderabad, and that’s on September 22, at the Dubai International Stadium. Their next match is on September 25, against Rajasthan Royals.
Then, they will match up against Kolkata Knight Riders on September 28. In October, they will once again clash against Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. Their last announced match is against Royal Challengers Bangalore in October.
The franchise has changed the world of cricket and sports entertainment. It has been a runaway hit and quick addition to sports entertainment because it is action-packed entertainment.
