In the current season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Delhi Capitals are having a fantastic run.
The Delhi Capitals are having a fantastic run in the Indian Premier League (IPL) right now. With five victories in six games, the team captained by Axar Patel leads the standings. With their dominance in every area, DC is undoubtedly the favorite to make the playoffs. Since the players are enjoying themselves with one another, their performance is also having a great effect on the team’s atmosphere. DC wicketkeeper KL Rahul’s funny jab at their guru Kevin Pietersen in a recent video was the clearest illustration of their togetherness.
DC traveled to Ahmedabad for a practice session at the Narendra Modi Stadium prior to their forthcoming game against the Gujarat Titans. Shubman Gill, the captain of GT, met Pietersen during the session, and the former England captain questioned him in jest what a mentor does.
“Mentor is someone who goes to Maldives for two weeks, mid-season,” added Rahul, who was standing next to them, jumping into the debate. Everyone was shocked by Rahul’s statement, including Pietersen.
After DC’s victory over the Chennai Super Kings on April 5, Pietersen took a personal trip to the Maldives. This led to his absence from DC’s April 10 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
In a high-stakes top-of-the-table IPL match on Saturday, the fly-high Delhi Capitals will face the equally-placed Gujarat Titans, whose skill will be tested against Mitchell Starc’s mastery of death overs.
The Delhi team would be ecstatic with their thrilling victory over the Rajasthan Royals in the Super Overs, another heist orchestrated under duress with Starc at its core.
The game was turned on its head by the Australian left-arm quick bowler, who bowled three overs of accurate yorkers, including a nerve-racking Super Over.
He has taken 10 wickets at an economy rate of slightly over 10, leading the DC pace attack that also includes Mohit Sharma and Mukesh Kumar. If Starc can summon another spell that decides the outcome of the match, it might give Delhi the advantage they need.
His matchup with the Gujarat Titans’ top order, which includes Ashes opponent Jos Buttler, reliable Sai Sudharsan, and captain Shubman Gill, may prove crucial.
