preview
In the first match of the season, Delhi have tasted failure in both bowling and batting once morest Lucknow Super Giants. The main drawback is that Sarfraz Khan is not able to compensate for the absence of Rishabh Pant behind the wicket. Apart from skipper David Warner, other batsmen are not doing well.
When it comes to bowling, the Indian players do not rise to the occasion. Only Khaleel Ahmed was a bit consistent in the first match. Chetan Zakaria, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel and Mukesh Yadav were hot with the bat of the Lucknow players. Antich Norke’s arrival will be a relief for Delhi.
Gujarat, who ended up winning the title last season, are in brilliant form this time as well. Chennai was easily conquered at home. Shubman Gill repeating his form in international cricket in IPL will also boost the confidence of skipper Hardik Pandey.
From Gill to Rashid Khan at number 7, they are capable of batting. Alsari Joseph and Hardik Pandya, the mainstays of the Mohammed Shami-led pace line, shone in the first match. Rashid Khan continues to be the world’s number one Twenty20 bowler and is shining in the season.
