IPL 2020: Rating all teams based on their performance in the first two weeks
The tournament started off quite surprisingly. Teams with the usual high expectations have found themselves in a spot of bother after losing games early on.
2. Delhi Capitals (DC) – 9
Delhi Capitals are one of the most underrated sides in the IPL and the team has got off to a great start, considering their upsetting performances over the years. Led by the young captain Shreyas Iyer, DC also has Ricky Ponting to guide the team through the tournament. DC were able to include some wonderful cricketers into the side.
Having a squad filled with Indian superstars, DC have the capability to function with minimum assistance from overseas cricketers. Having the experienced Shikhar Dhawan, Ravi Ashwin and Ajinkya Rahane, Delhi certainly look deadly. The team-balance looks quite good. The pace attack led by Kagiso Rabada and Amit Mishra, in the spin department, provide DC with enough skillset to dominate in the IPL.
The side have a very solid batting line-up. The strong openers are followed by some experienced middle-order batsmen. The heavy foreign finishers give DC the best chance to put up good totals. With the batting department taken care of, the bowling attack with the likes of Rabada, Ishant Sharma, and Anrich Nortje looks fierce.
If the fielders do a decent job, DC will be looking at a spot on the playoffs this year. Every team will find an eleven for the tournament; it matters whether on match-day, the side grab hold of the opportunities or not. Delhi Capitals have more a decent chance this year. For their performance in the first two weeks in the IPL, the get a rating of 9!
