Delhi Capitals – they are another side that will like RCB, look to rewrite history – by finally ending the title drought. They have the side and then they have former Australian skipper – Ricky Ponting – who will impart great knowledge to the young side. With Ajinkya Rahane, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant and Prithvi Shaw in their side, Capitals are batting heavy.
Comparatively the bowling unit does not look that strong apart from Kagiso Rabada. Ravichandran Ashwin, Sandeep Lamichhane, and Amit Mishra would look after the spin department, along with Axar Patel. Alex Carey – who is no mug with the bat – will don the gloves.
Asked about his role in the team, Rahane said: “I don’t know. We have to wait and watch as we start our practice sessions, then only we will have that communication.
“I have opened throughout my career and I have enjoyed that. But (it is) completely up to the team management as to what role they want to give me in the team. I will 100 per cent do that,” Rahane added further.
