IPL 2021: Predicting team-wise positions at the end of league stage in UAE

1. Delhi Capitals (DC)

The stand-out team of the 2021 edition of the IPL thus far has been the Delhi Capitals. A side blessed with exuberant talent, the Delhi Capitals are currently placed at the top of the points table having won 6 out of the 8 matches that they have played.

Their batting lineup is firing, their bowlers have delivered the job, and surely the Delhi Capitals are the favorites to win the IPL this year. And, the Delhi side produced an excellent performance in the 13th IPL edition that was held in the UAE as well. They were the runners-up in the 2020 IPL season.

When the IPL resumes this year, the likes of Marcus Stoinis, Steve Smith, and Shimron Hetmyer are also available. Shreyas Iyer has also returned after recovering from injury but will play under Rishabh Pant’s leadership only.

Delhi Capitals has a strong contingent that will fly to the UAE for the remainder of the IPL. Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan have destroyed bowling attacks at the top of the order, and the likes of Avesh Khan, Kagiso Rabada, and Axar Patel have been impressive with the ball in hand. The Delhi Capitals will most likely top the points table when the league stage of the 2021 IPL season draws to a close.
