Starc’s deadly bowling enraged Delhi with confidence

Apart from putting three best yorkers, the Australian fast bowler also played the responsibility of the super over well. Stark, who returned with rest after the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, seems to be completely refreshed and has taken 10 wickets despite the economy above 10 so far. The trio of Mukesh Kumar and Mohit Sharma with him is giving a edge to the fast attack of Delhi.
Now Delhi face Gujarat Titans, whose top batsmen Shubman Gill, Sai Sudarshan and Jose Butler have proved to be the backbone of the team’s batting so far. If Delhi sends these three to the pavilion quickly, then the relatively weak middle order of Gujarat may be examination, as was seen against Lucknow Super Giants.
Siraj’s strong comeback
After being out of the Indian team and average, Mohammad Siraj has taken full advantage of the brake. He has taken 10 wickets from 8.50 economy so far by improving his bowling. His bowling in Powerplay has been particularly effective. The next match is from Delhi opener Jack Fraser McGark and Abhishek Porel, who have not been in constant rhythm. If they fail again, Delhi’s expectations will stand on KL Rahul and Karun Nair.
Spinners will play an important role
