Delhi Capitals vs Punjab Kings Dream11: As Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings set to play against each other in game-2 of the IPL 2021 season’s first double-header, it’s worth pitting players from both teams against each other. There will be sessions in the game where individual battles will tip the balance of the game in favour of that player and his team who comes out on top in those phases. Here are 3 Players Battles To Watch Out For In DC vs PBKS IPL 2021.
1. Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan vs Mohammed Shami: DC’s openers are arguably two of the most destructive batsmen in the IPL 2021. The duo took the game away from CSK in the opening match despite MS Dhoni’s team posting a formidable total of 188 runs. Mohammed Shami will have to be on the top of his game if PBKS are to get the better of Dhawan and Shaw.

2. Kagiso Rabada vs KL Rahul and Chris Gayle: There’s not even an iota of a doubt how important KL Rahul and Chris Gayle are to PBKS. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Punjab Kings are often in trouble when they are not on the pitch and in Kagiso Rabada, DC have the kind of bowler who can win the head-to-head battle against Chris Gayle and KL Rahul.

Rishabh Pant vs Arshdeep Singh: With bowlers such as Jhye Richardson and Riley Meredith on the PBKS roster, you may think Rishabh Pant will be thinking more about the duo than wasting a moment or two on Arshdeep Singh. But the fact is Singh is in better form than both Meredith and Richardson and can trouble Pant more in this game.

Rishabh Pant IPL Record: Matches: 70 Not Outs: 10 Runs: 2145 High Score: 128* Average: 35.75 100s: 01 50s: 13 4s: 194 6s: 103
Arshdeep Singh IPL Record: Matches: 13 Balls Bowled: 245 Runs Given: 369 Wickets: 16 Best: 3/23 Economy: 9.03
Delhi Capitals had the game in control against Rajasthan Royals but a late blitz from Chris Morris sent Rishabh Pant and his team crashing down into the pothole. PBKS also met the same fate in their last outing meaning both teams will come into this off the back of a defeat. But DC, at least on paper, look in better shape and we back them to win this DC vs PBKS IPL 2021 match.
