Despite the strong start, Delhi’s top orders have seen a little unstable several times. Openers have failed to make a strong start and Jake Fraser-Makegurk has been a total disaster so far. FAF du Plessis’s injury has not helped him. Now on the new early pair of Onas Karun Nair And to provide Abhishek Porel stability and set a quick tone in the innings, DC is still missing something.
In the bowling unit, while Kuldeep has been luxurious, the support of other spinners is reduced. Captain Axar Patel has managed to take only 1 wicket in the tournament so far. Only other spinners who are clinging to the decency are Vipraj Nigam, who have taken 7 wickets – but beyond this, the depth of DC spin still looks a bit thin.
