KL Rahul has scored 49 runs off 39 balls and got out 3 times. Faced 18 dot balls. He hit 5 fours and 2 sixes. Strike rate is 125.6 and average is 16.3.
Axar Patel made 77 runs in 59 balls, out 2 times. Faced 21 dot balls. He hit 4 fours and 5 sixes. Strike rate is 130.5 and average is 38.5.
When KL Rahul is in form, he sends the ball straight across the boundary. In one match, he played a 93-run not out innings which was worth watching. But in some matches now, his runs have come in less. Maybe there was a little pressure or he just didn’t do well that day. But he is such a player who can change the game anytime. That is why we can say that his recent form is a little down but he seems ready to speak again.
Axar Patel is an all-rounder. He bats as well as bowls. Once he took 2 wickets and made 43 runs while batting, meaning he did both the jobs together. He always works hard, be it making runs or taking wickets. There has been a bit of up-down in the last few matches but the passion for playing is full. That is why it can be said that he is in good form.
When Shubman Gill stands at the crease, the bowlers just have to search for the fielders. He played a brilliant innings of 90 runs where every shot was classy. In the last few matches, his words have spoken brilliantly. He has made big scores one after the other. Clearly, he is in great form now and the confidence is evident on his face.
Sai Sudharsan’s style is simple – eyes on the ball, focus on the game. He scored 52 runs in one match which was quite useful for the team. However, he did not score many runs in the last one or two matches. But when he was in form, he was consistently scoring 30-40 runs. It is not that he has forgotten how to play, it is just that his recent form has slowed down. But his timing and intent are both solid.
T Natarajan is one such bowler who is a master in bowling a yorker. Some of his matches have not been outstanding recently, but that does not mean that he is not playing well. His form has just gone down a bit. But the skills that he possesses, he can make them shine again in any match. His calm nature and focus are clearly visible in the game. That is why it can be said that his recent form has declined but he seems to be in the mood to come back.
Gerald Coetzee is such a bowler that whenever he bowls the ball, it seems something is going to happen. In one match he took a wicket giving away just 10 runs, meaning he bowled very tight. He doesn't show much on the scoreboard but gives full energy on the ground. His recent form is fine and the attitude he has makes it seem that he can do something new in every match. That's why he should not be taken lightly.
Mitchell Starc was an important pick for Delhi Capitals but after a break Starc has returned to his homeland. He has decided not to return to India as he will be featuring in the World test Championship, representing Australia. Mitchell Starc is the highest wicket taker for Delhi Capitals in this season. Delhi Capitals are still searching for Starc’s replacement.
Rahul Tewatia is playing in the lower order for Gujarat Titans and his main work is to finish matches. He will only be used to make an impact when needed otherwise Gujarat Titans will use Rutherford, Shahrukh, and Sundar. You can definitely avoid Rahul Tewatia in your team for this match.
