Key Battles for Rohit Sharma against Delhi Capitals
Khaleel Ahmed – The last few years many left-arm pacers have dismissed Rohit Sharma cheaply. Trent Boult did the same during the Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians game. Khaleel Ahmed will want to get rid of the former MI skipper early and help his side get a massive advantage to his team.
Axar Patel – In the absence of Kuldeep Yadav, the onus of spin bowling has been bestowed upon Axar Patel. The 30-year-old can maintain a tight line and length frustrate Rohit Sharma and cause him to lose his wicket.
