Key Player Battles to Watch
Rishabh Pant vs. Jofra Archer
Rishabh Pant is one of Delhi’s top batsmen, scoring close to 700 runs in the previous edition of the IPL. A wicketkeeper-batsman, Pant is known for his incredible shot selection when out in the middle. But how will he hold up against Jofra Archer? The ‘fear factor’ of Jofra Archer will always hang over the heads of Delhi’s batsmen during RR vs DC matches.
David Miller vs. Ishant Sharma
It will be a new team and new beginnings for David Miller this year. His brilliant 38-ball hundred against RCB in 2013 is still regarded as a legendary knock among IPL fans. It will be interesting to see how Miller faces the fast-bowler yorker expert Kagiso Rabada in RR vs DC 2020 matches. The experienced right-arm pacer will play a vital role in spearheading Delhi’s bowling attack.
