New Delhi: The Indian Premier League (IPL) in the opening match of 2021 saw the Delhi Capitals beat Chennai Super Kings by seven wickets. Rishabh Pant’s leadership and players’ injury remains a major problem for the Delhi Capitals during this season. Captain Shreyas Iyer is already out of the entire IPL and even experienced fast bowler Ishant Sharma missed the first match due to injury. South African fast bowler Enrique Nortje is positive in the Kovid-19 Test, while Akshar Patel has recovered from Kovid-19, but it is difficult to play against the Rajasthan Royals. The Delhi Capitals will play their second match of the tournament against the Rajasthan Royals today.

The batting of the Delhi Capitals seems strong enough but the lack of bowlers like Ishant Sharma, Northje, Kagiso Rabada and Akshar Patel in the bowling should hurt the team. Rabada is still quarantined, so there is hardly a choice. Ajinkya Rahane was given a place in the XI in the previous match but was unable to bat. Prithvi Shah and Shikhar Dhawan are in excellent form and after that the captain Rishabh Pant is also in good rhythm. The team’s balance looks so good because of Marcus Stonis.

Chris Vox, Tom Karan and Avesh Khan look at the fast bowling department, while Amit Mishra handles the team’s spin attack like R Ashwin’s earlier match. The Delhi Capitals will not make any changes to their winning combination and will play in this match along with the previous eleven.
Possibility of playing XI of Delhi capitals: Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shah, Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant (captain), Marcus Stoinis, Shimran Hetmier, Chris Vox, Ravichandran Ashwin, Tom Karan, Amit Mishra, Avesh Khan.
