IPL 2021: 3 Stars From Delhi Capitals Who Will Be Game Changers Against Sunrisers Hyderabad

Delhi Capitals have won their last two games convincingly to sit at the third position on the points table and they will be up against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in their next fixture. So far, Delhi has won three games and lost only one game with 6 points on board and they have a very strong squad which they can keep rotating.

They won an important game against the Mumbai Indians in their previous game which should have brought them a lot of confidence and they are coming off a 5-day break. Shikhar Dhawan and Steve Smith played brilliantly in the tough turning track in Chennai and it helped them get over the line easily against the Mumbai Indians in a tricky chase. Here are 3 stars from Delhi Capitals who will be game-changers against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

3 Stars From Delhi Capitals Who Will Be Game Changers:

Prithvi Shaw:

Prithvi Shaw did not have the best of outings in the previous game but he is expected to come back with a bang in the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. He is an important player for the Delhi capitals as Shikhar Dhawan has been in good form and Prithvi needs to stay in the crease for a long time.

Chennai is a wicket, which he needs to adapt to and play accordingly. His natural instinct is to go after the bowlers but it is hard to hit through the line in those wickets and hence, he must change his batting style. If he can put up a good partnership with Dhawan at the top, it will be a massive boost for the Delhi Capitals who have one of the strongest batting lineups in the tournament.

Shikhar Dhawan:

Shikhar Dhawan played excellent innings in the previous game that helped the Delhi Capitals chase down the target with ease. Despite his brilliant form, he had to play a different role in the game as the wicket wasn’t easy to play the shots and he did put up his hand for the team when they needed him the most.

He scored 45 of just 42 balls which was the need of the hour and made sure that Delhi did not lose a cluster of wickets. Dhawan has been the man in form for Delhi Capitals and also the player of the tournament so far with 231 runs from 4 games. He has shown a lot of maturities and has got better off with age. His strike rate improvement has yielded him the best results possible in the last two seasons of IPL.

Amit Mishra:

Amit Mishra was the man of the match in the previous game and he deserved it after his outstanding spell of four wickets which left Mumbai struggling to put up a decent score on board. The veteran leg spinner came into the team after missing out on the last two games and he had an immediate impact after coming into the team.

Mishra is the second-highest wicket-taker in the tournament overall and is just six wickets away from going past the tally of Lasith Malinga. If he continues to bowl the way he did, Delhi Capitals will have no option of dropping him and he becomes a very dangerous bowler on wickets like Chennai. He extracts a lot of spin from the surface and still has a lot of variations in his kitty. He finished with figures of 4 wickets for 24 runs in his match-winning spell.
