Yuzvendra Chahal’s bag of tricks will meet his perfect match in Kuldeep Yadav’s trickery as the two wrist spinners are expected to dictate the narrative when the Rajasthan Royals take on the Delhi Capitals in an IPL 2022 match on Friday, April 22. With current orange cap holder Jos Buttler (375 carries) and purple cap holder Chahal (17 wickets) in their ranks, the Royals are a team that looks pretty formidable at the moment, even with a dysfunctional middle order. , except Shimron Hetmyer.
On the other hand, the resurgent Capitals are battling the agony that comes with a mini COVID-19 outbreak in camp, but are still trying to do their best to stay afloat. Against this backdrop, the two wrist turners, who currently dominate the bowling rankings, will be keen to show off their wares with Kuldeep (13 wickets at No 2) expected to ask the in-form Buttler a few questions in case there is a match -up.
For Delhi, Kuldeep with Axar Patel and Lalit Yadav would like to stem the running tide, but stopping Buttler will be at the top of their schedule at a Wankhede track that should be good for the stick. For Chahal, the way he varies the pace against a raging David Warner or the ever-attacking Prithvi Shaw and skipper Rishabh Pant will be a delight for fans.
Mustafizur Rahaman’s cutters and Khaleel Ahmed’s clever change of pace could also trouble Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag.
