IPL 2019, Qualifier 2nd: CSK vs DC – Delhi Capitals’ Predicted Playing XI

Delhi Capitals are a step away to land foot into their first-ever finale of the Indian Premier League (IPL). In the IPL 2019, Shreyas Iyer side looked altogether a different unit with most of their players know their roles pretty well. However, it would be interesting to see Delhi Capitals’ predicted playing XI.

Capitals’ story is more about courage and commitment as the team advisor Sourav Ganguly and head coach Ricky Ponting has given vital inputs to the youngsters.

As we’re at the business end of the tournament, Capitals will take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the qualifier second on May 10, to decide the fate of their maiden finale.

They’re keen to give a tough time to the reigning champions CSK after breaking into the final four since 2012.

Here’s Delhi Capitals’ predicted playing XI:

Shikhar Dhawan:

Dhawan's fearless cricket helping us: Shreyas Iyer

The classic-looking Shikhar Dhawan has become first to amass 500 runs for the Capitals in IPL 2019. So far, he has given a quality start which further saw his knock helping team’s cause.

He’s all set to shoulder the responsibility in the virtual knockout.

After struggling to score runs for his team, Prithvi Shaw has made a strong return with 38-ball 56 in the eliminator on May 8.

Shaw has slammed four fours and two sixes during his knock to provide a quality start at the top.

He is energetic to continue with his masterclass stroke-making.

Shaw has accumulated 348 runs in 15 innings at an average of 23.20. But, he is a far better player than what numbers has unfolded.

Shreyas Iyer:

The top-order batsman Iyer has shown commitment by playing a major role for the rejuvenated Capitals.

Rishabh Pant:

Wicketkeeper-batsman Pant is at par in terms of runs with Iyer. In the eliminator, Pant has slammed 21-ball 49 with the help of five sixes and two fours.

But, he has often failed when it came to finishing off the games. It’s pertinent to state that an aggressive brand of cricket will help Capitals in the much-awaited contest.

Colin Munro:

Colin Munro, who came in place of Colin Ingram got off to a start. But he has failed to extend his innings.

The explosive batsman is, however, capable of flaying any potent bowling attack.

The speedster has leaked runs in the previous game. In a couple of matches, Boult has somewhat found his rhythm.

Moreover, he would be raring to go in Qualifier 2nd against the CSK.

In four matches, Boult has managed to pick four scalps, and he would be warming up to make most of the opportunity.
