IPL 2020: Delhi changed its name and changed the fate

Posted on 15th Oct 2020 by rohit kumar

The Delhi Capitals, yearning for a title in the IPL, defeated the Rajasthan Royals by 13 runs in an easy match on Wednesday.

 

With this win, she has also reached the first place in the points table with 12 points with six wins and two defeats in eight matches.

 

This is the same Delhi Capitals which was once known as Delhi Daredevils but its owners changed its name a few years ago.

 

If the name changed then perhaps the fate also changed. Incidentally, on the day Delhi Capitals was named instead of Delhi Daredevils, I was also present at the press conference on that day. This day was four December 2018.

 

Delhi's best coaching staff

 

During Delhi's cold, everyone was wondering what would happen with the name change. But the results are telling that the cold change of name arose due to the change of name.

 

At that time, Praveen Amre and Mohammad Kaif also joined the coaching staff of Delhi. Now, even though Praveen Amre is not on the coaching staff, but Mohammad Kaif is still with the team. Apart from Mohammad Kaif, Vijay Dahiya is also on the coaching staff.

 

Vijay Dahiya was also on the coaching staff of that Kolkata Knight Riders team when Kolkata became champions for the second time in 2014 under the captaincy of Gautam Gambhir. Apart from these, former Australia captain Ricky Ponting is also on the coaching staff.

 

Now that Delhi is playing well, the credit goes to the coaching staff as well as the players. Now, who knows what happens by changing the name more than Delhi Capitals.

 

Before the name change, Delhi was at the lowest eighth position in the year 2018 but after changing the name, it stood at the third position last year. Now he is not very far from reaching the last four. By touching the miraculous score of 16, he is only two steps away i.e. two wins.

 

The team is united and played without any pressure

 

This is the story of changing from Delhi Daredevils to Delhi Capitals. But this time the team from Delhi has performed amazing so far. The victory against Rajasthan Royals showed that the Delhi players had no qualms about losing in the last match at the hands of Mumbai.

 

He nabbed the Rajasthan Royals, who had snatched victory from Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last game on the strength of Rahul Tewatia and Ryan Parag. Then Rajasthan had achieved the target of 159 runs by winning five wickets.

 

In that match, Rahul Tewatia showed his attitude with an unbeaten 45 off only 28 balls and Ryan Parag scored an unbeaten 42 off only 26 balls. Ryan Parag also danced uniquely on the pitch after the match by winning the winning six. But Delhi has not given any such opportunity to Rajasthan.

 

Shikhar Dhawan and captain Shreyas Iyer incinerate

 

First, Delhi won the toss and scored 161 runs in the 20 overs with the help of Shikhar Dhawan's 57 and captain Shreyas Iyer's 53 runs. This was Shikhar Dhawan's second consecutive half-century.

 

With this, he also regained his lost form. It was the brilliance of Shikhar Dhawan and captain Shreyas Iyer that they did not let the lack of fast bowlers Rishabh Pant and Hetmyer who were out of the team.

 

Rishabh Pant is also the wicketkeeper but due to his injury, foreign player Alex Carrie had to be included in the team and in his place, Hetmyer also had to leave the team as only four foreign players can play in a match.

 

In this match, Delhi replaced Tusshar Deshpande, a brand new fast bowler, in place of Harshal Patel. Tushar Deshpande first caught dangerous Rajasthan opener Ben Stokes, and then took the wicket of Shreyas Gopal.

 

Tushar Deshpande, who finished his innings and the last over of the innings, also won the hearts of the commentary players when the commentators heard him called Sir Deshpande. Everyone was very impressed with his yorker, while big players are bowling faults in an attempt to a yorker.

 

By the way, Kagiso Rabada is also a speed merchant in the Delhi team and he has also claimed the highest 18 wickets in the match so far, but he was well supported by Enrique Norquie who took two wickets for 33 runs and also the man of the match. are.

 

Here R Ashwin will also have to be praised, who took a wicket by giving only 17 runs in four overs and kept Rajasthan's pace of scoring runs.

 

Rajasthan was scattered

 

On the one hand, where Delhi first dominated Rajasthan in batting and then in bowling and filming too. When Axar Patel ran out Ryan Parag, the remaining players caught the catch at the right time.

 

The campaign against Rajasthan Royals, which started with a win in this IPL and won the last match from Hyderabad, seems to be in trouble against Delhi.

 

Apart from the captain Steve Smith himself, Sanju Samson's bat has become silent as such. How long will Rahul Tewatiya continue to win the team? Even Jose Butler is not playing a big innings, so highly experienced Robin Uthappa is not able to take advantage of a good start.

 

Ben Stokes' 41, Robin Uthappa's 32 and Sanju Samson's 25 runs show that if they had batted more fiercely against Delhi, the result of the match could have changed but it did not happen. Now Steve Smith will have to explain to the team how to avoid being shattered under pressure.

 

Difficulties ahead for Rajasthan

 

In the bowling department, Rajasthan has a great bowler in the form of Jofra Archer but the other bowlers are not able to support him. If Delhi proved to be very strong as a team, Rajasthan appeared scattered as a team.

 

After eight matches, Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad also have six points each, but in the game of points, these teams will have to push their heels. Let's see what happens.
