New Delhi The team of Delhi Capitals will try to fulfill the dream that was left unfulfilled last season. This time the team will be in the hands of Rishabh Pant, the youngest captain of the Indian Premier League. The 23-year-old explosive wicketkeeper-batsman has been given the responsibility of captaincy after regular captain Shreyas Iyer was ruled out of the tournament. The last time the team reached the final, they had to be content with losing to Mumbai Indians and becoming runners-up.

 

Delhi has averaged a record average in the last 13 seasons of the IPL. In the last two seasons, the team has caught the rhythm and has now emerged as a big contender to win the tournament. By playing 194 matches so far, this team has won only 84 matches while losing 105 matches. The team's win percentage was 44.53, which is less than 50 percent.

 

Strength of the team, strong in batting

 

 

The biggest strength of this team is its young explosive batsmen who know the skill of changing the course of the match. The legend of captain Rishabh Pant's Atishi innings is also convincing. Opener Prithvi Shaw has achieved form in the recent Vijay Hazare Trophy. Set the record for the most runs scored in a season with 827 runs with an unbeaten innings of 227 runs. The experienced are stormy batsmen like Shikhar Dhawan, Marcus Stoinis, and Shimron Hetmyer.

 

Bowling is also unmatched

 

 

Kagiso Rabada is a bowler who can single-handedly outlast any team. Apart from this, there is Akshar Patel in excellent form with Enrich Nortje, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav. Veteran spinner Amit Mishra, who took the most hat-trick in the tournament, is also in the team with whom a strong bowler like R Ashwin strengthens the bowling of the team.

 

Team weakness

 

 

Sometimes the strength of the team becomes its weakness as well. A batsman proves to be a weak link for a team adorned with Atishi batsmen. Bats like Pant, Prithvi, Hayyamire lose wickets at the wrong time many times in the process of playing big shots. All these batsmen will have to be careful and come up with the strategy of the game.
