The thirteenth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is off to a flying start. Chennai Super Kings tasted a victory over Mumbai Indians on Saturday. Now, we are going to have an exciting match between Delhi Capitals and Kings XI Punjab. Both the teams look strong on paper, but the team that gives the best will end up tasting success.
So far, both the teams played 24 matches where Delhi won 10 games, and Punjab triumphed in 14 games. It is undoubtedly going to be an advantage for Punjab. But, Ravichandran Ashwin, who was the captain for the team, will play for Delhi Capitals this season. KL Rahul took up the charge as the new captain of the team. Shreyas Iyer is the captain of the Delhi side.
Kings XI Punjab team consists of strong hitters. With Chris Gayle, Sarfraz Khan, Glenn Maxwell, Deepak Hooda, and others, the team looks very strong. But, Delhi Capitals has good bowlers who are performing consistently. Veteran bowlers Ishant Sharma, Amit Mishra, Ravichandran Ashwin will find their place in the team. Young bowlers like Mohit Sharma, Axar Patel, Kagiso Rabada, and others can also come handy in taking their team to the path of victory.
Both the teams never won the cup in these 13 years, and we have to see if any of these teams can create history this time.
