IPL 2021: Predicting team-wise top run-scorer and wicket-taker

7. Delhi Capitals: Rishabh Pant & Kagiso Rabada

The Ponting-Iyer fellowship has completely changed the fortunes of this franchise as for the second consecutive time the Delhi camp was seen qualifying for playoffs in IPL 2020. A strong Indian core combined with some eminent overseas proponents makes DC one of the most balanced teams in the IPL 2020, who probably were only inferior to the mighty MI in the last season. However, this time with its same set of players the franchise would be eyeing for a potential IPL glory.

In terms of amassing most runs, someone like Rishabh Pant whose also now the skipper of the team will be expected to produce similar fireworks just like in his recent international career. In absence of Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant can fully promote himself at number four which will eventually give him more time to unleash his natural gameplay. With a disastrous last season, Pant also has a lot to prove in terms of his batting in the IPL and the upcoming season looks to be the ideal one. Hence, with his current batting form along with his recent match-winning heroics, one can highly expect Pant to become a revelation for DC in terms of his batting.

To unnerve and clank out the opposition teams, Delhi Capitals once again have the South African duo available wherein Kagiso Rabada will be seen burning the stumps. In the last IPL, Rabada had taken 30 wickets by fetching them at an average of 18. Apart from his constant scalping, Rabada also leaked runs at an economy of around 8. Often, he was skipper Shreyas Iyer’s go-to man who could sometimes wipe out the batting lineups. Hence, even in the forthcoming season, Rabada will be seen breathing wickets.
