LSG vs DC : In an impending Indian Premier League match, the Delhi Capitals will be up against the fierce Lucknow Super Giants. Currently sitting third in the points table, Lucknow look like a well-rounded team even though their teenage bowler Mayank Yadav is probably out with an injury. Yadav, who can hit over 150 kmph, left the last game against Gujarat Titans after just one over of bowling because of pain in his abdomen.
Together with leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi, Naveen-ul-Haq, and rookie pacer Yash Thakur, Lucknow’s bowling unit is deep. Thakur’s five-wicket haul against Gujarat Titans demonstrated this depth in Mayank Yadav’s absence.
KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock make up a strong opening pair for Lucknow. De Kock has made two half-centuries, but captain KL Rahul wants to turn good starts into significant scores. Nicholas Pooran has enhanced Lucknow’s batting prowess by adding pyrotechnics towards the conclusion of innings. But for Devdutt Padikkal, who still lacks a form, the struggle goes on.
On the other side, the Delhi Capitals are in a difficult situation with two losses to the struggling Mumbai Indians and a humiliating 106-run loss to the Kolkata Knight Riders. Delhi Capitals, with the lowest net run rate in the league at -1.370, are struggling with the makeup of their impactless Indian speed attack.
The majority of Delhi’s bowling duties are carried out by Khaleel Ahmed and Ishant Sharma, but consistency has been difficult to come by. Though Mukesh Kumar is expected to return from injury, he too hasn’t left much of an impression. Rasikh Dar and Sumit Kumar, two medium pacers, have a difficult job ahead of them against the strong Lucknow batting order.
Their difficulties are exacerbated by the fact that Anrich Nortje, their speed spearhead, has had difficulty recovering from his injury and has given up runs at an economy rate of 13.43 in four games. In spite of the exceptional play of captain Rishabh Pant and Tristan Stubbs, the Delhi Capitals have struggled to find enough Indian talent, which has increased their reliance on foreign players who are also in the process of finding their feet.
