Delhi Capitals vs Lucknow Super Giants Key Players

Axar Patel

Axar Patel is a full-time captain now. He has been in the leadership group for the national T20 side and is getting his opportunities now. Can he handle the challenge of leading an IPL Team though? He has the ability and flexibility and how he goes about the challenge could shape his career even more.

Shardul Thakur

He may not make the eleven but the next two months are crucial for Shardul Thakur. He was left out of the Test side and is now missing his county stint, which could have been crucial for him to make the side for the Test tour. A good set of performances here though could well put him back on for national contention as he has been falling off the radar.  

DC vs LSG Match Tips

DC could start favourites with Lucknow missing the core of their bowling attack, coming in with very few options.
