Former India batsman Aakash Chopra has lavished praise on Delhi Capitals’ bowling lineup while claiming that the franchise has no weakness as far as their bowling department is concerned.

The Delhi-based outfit do have a strong bowling lineup. They have quality fast-bowlers and spinners in their ranks. The likes of Anrich Nortje, Mustafizur Rahman, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Khaleel Ahmed, Lungi Ngidi and Ishant Sharma make their fast-bowling lineup one of the best in the league.

As far as the spin department, Delhi Capitals will have the services of star spinners like Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel. Speaking about the Delhi Capitals’ bowling unit, Aakash Chopra said that the lineup looked formidable and stated that the team did not have any weakness.

“The bowling looks formidable. There is no weakness in bowling. They have Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav, who bowled amazingly well last time, picked up a lot of wickets and he was absolutely brilliant,” Aakash Chopra said on his show AakashVani.

Speaking further, Aakash Chopra pointed out that Delhi Capitals had a good mix of overseas and India players before picking Nortje as his favourite bowler in the lineup. Chopra called him his favourite fast bowler after Jasprit Bumrah and said that a fit Nortje might make a huge difference to the team.

“Anrich Nortje – fit, available and raring to go. Then Mustafizur Rahman, Lungi Ngidi, Chetan Sakariya, Khaleel Ahmed, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Mukesh Kumar and Ishant Sharma. They also have Pravin Dubey, Vicky Ostwal and Aman Khan. This team will not have a problem of bowlers,” Chopra said.

“They used to have Shardul, they let him go. Now that Anrich Nortje is fit, available and raring to go – incredible. He is my favourite T20 bowler after Jasprit Bumrah. He is absolutely brilliant,” he added.
