DC vs SRH Dream11 Key Players best picks: Battle between Warner and Rabada, Axar Patel could be the trump card

Delhi would look to keep their winning bandwagon going as they meet SRH in their next game of the IPL 2020. Delhi Capitals have already registered wins in two matches they have played so far. They have beaten KXIP in Super over and CSK by 44 runs res[ectively. Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the other hand, have lost both of their opening two games. While they lost the first game two RCB by 10 runs, they were defeated by KKR by 7 wickets in the 2nd match. Let’s take a look at DC vs SRH Dream11 Key Players who could decide the outcome of the game.

Kagiso Rabada

The stocks of the South African pacer is on a rise ever since his introduction to the IPL. He has been quite a revelation for the Delhi-based side with the ball. He would be crucial for the Capitals with a new ball against a strong opening pair of David Warner and Jonny Bairstow. He has already picked 5 wickets in just 2 games for his side.

IPL Record: Matches: 20, Wickets – 36, Strike Rate – 12.72, Economy Rate – 7.99

Shikhar Dhawan

Dhawan is the most senior batsman in the young Delhi side. The left-handed southpaw looked in good touch in the last game against Chennai Super Kings. He would be looking to explode against his former side to show them what they been missing.

IPL Record: Matches: 161, Runs – 4613, Strike Rate – 124.74, Highest Score – 97

David Warner

The Australian batsman has been the mainstay of the Sunrisers batting for seasons now. He is their biggest weapon and he has to fire if SRH wants to win this game. He looked in control in the last game but lost his wicket at the wrong time. He would be keen to make amendments this time to take his side to victory.

IPL Record: Matches – 128, Runs – 4748, Strike Rate – 142.11, Highest Score – 126

Rashid Khan

We haven’t seen the best of the Afghan Wizard in the IPL yet, and it can be the perfect opportunity for him to show his skills. It won’t be a surprise if Khan manages to dismantle the younger batting line-up of the Capitals. He bowled well in the last game against KKR and would be eager to take his game a notch up.

IPL Record: Matches – 48, Wickets – 56, Economy Rate – 6.57, Strike Rate – 20.36

X-Factors:

Axar Patel: The performances of the left-arm spinner often go under the radar but he is a key player to the DC system. He could bowl with the new ball, could pick wickets in the middle overs while being economical, and could also bat if called upon. We could see him bowling to Jonny Bairstow in the Powerplay.

Prithvi Shaw: The pocket-size dynamite is coming off a brilliant knock of 64 runs against CSK in the last game. He would be eager to prolong his form with two back-to-back quality knocks.

Jonny Bairstow: The English-wicketkeeper began his campaign with an explosive fifty in the opening game vs RCB but could not do much in the 2nd game. He would be eager to recreate the magic from the past alongside Warner.

Manish Pandey: The Karnataka-batsman has been in runs and has scored in both games for SRH so far including a fifty in the last game against KKR. He would look to continue his good form as he holds the key number 3 position.
