tapandrun Posted March 24 Posted March 24 DC have 4 openers :-- KL, Nisanka, Duckett, Shaw. Think they should open with Shail and because they have Stubbs and Miller so KL will open.

singhvivek141 Posted March 24 Posted March 24 DC need to get rid of KL Rahul to actually bring in some momentum. They've a strong side, not table toppers, but potentially a top4 team. If they can get rid of KL and move Nitish at the top, then their XI can be Porel Nitish Stubbs Miller Rizvi Axar Ashutosh Aaqib Starc Ngidi Kuldeep Impact - Vipraj Miller at 4 and Stubbs at 3 will give them more time. Nitish is a seasoned cricketer and will do his job, Porel can be like Saha who can maximize the pp. Aaqib and Starc can give them batting depth till 9. Bowling wise Vipraj, KUldeep, Axar is a decentish spin combo. Starc, Aaqib and Ngidi will be the 3 pacers where Aaqib can potentially bowl all 3 or 4 overs with the new ball.

DC home ground is a smallish one and their batting line-up is not equipped to take advantage of it.

KL as keeper ia a risk though, does Nissanka keeps ? Indeed, expecting David Miller to bat ahead of Axar Patel in case DC have got good total after having lost 2 wickets. Axar might come ahead if the top order collapses in power play. David Millers battign position will be situational imo. Pathum Nissanka is not a wicket keeper. Abishek Porel is keeping option but KL prefers to keep rather than field in outfield as he did for RCB, PBKS. Tristaan Stubbs is also a backup keeper. singhvivek141 and Manucrick 2
vvvslaxman Posted April 1 Author Posted April 1 Pant disrupting Markram/Marsh partnership will hurt them badly. They were very good last season. 2025 partnership record Gill/Sudarshan 541 runs 9 innings 60.11 avge RR 8.94 Kohli/Salt 376 runs 9 innings 41.77 avge RR 10.34 Arya/Prabhsimran 360 runs 9 innings 40.00 avge RR 10.69 Markram/Marsh 353 runs 9 innigs39.22 avge RR 8.78 Abhishek/Travis 316 runs 9 innings 35.11 avge RR 10.89
Vk1 Posted April 11 Posted April 11 DC brings down the quality of ipl. Those GMR and Jindal folks suck at running this team.. wonder how these next gen kids run their vast biz empires
vvvslaxman Posted April 27 Author Posted April 27 What a pathetic Team management. Abhsihek porel batting at 7. 18 year old with zero experience is facing new ball against Bhuvi and Hazlewood. In a match or two they used Karun nair instead of Asuothosh. Axar is coming up against pace. They always find a way to lose the match in various ways. I think this is one season multiple teams botched at the auction.

Such players will do well once they have lost all hopes of making a comeback, as then they play fearlessly.
