Key Players to Watch
DC Picks
- WK Rishabh Pant — DC captain at his home ground — his fearless counter-attacking style thrives at Arun Jaitley; safest DC captain pick
- BAT Jake Fraser-McGurk — Explosive opener who loves flat Delhi pitches; when he gets going, 60+ off 30 balls is possible
- BOW Kuldeep Yadav — Middle-overs wrist spin is his game; even on flat Delhi tracks he creates chances with his variations
- AR Axar Patel — Home ground advantage and dual value — bats in the top 6 and bowls four overs; excellent value pick
RCB Picks
- BAT Virat Kohli — Away from Chinnaswamy but class travels; flat Delhi pitch suits his powerful, boundary-finding strokeplay perfectly
- AR Glenn Maxwell — Short Delhi boundaries suit his aerial game; when Maxwell fires away from home, the points are massive
- BOW Mohammed Siraj — Reverse swing with the older ball at Delhi is his best weapon; can be very effective in the middle and death overs
- BAT Faf du Plessis — Experienced opener who provides the platform; consistent performer against both pace and spin
