#1 David Warner vs Yuzvendra Chahal

The aggressive left-handed opening batter, David Warner,  has been in fantastic form for the Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2022, hitting 3 fifties so far.

Chahal, the RR leg-spinner, is now the only bowler in the IPL 2022 to record a 5-wicket haul. Having 17 wickets in six games, he presently holds the Purple Cap, demonstrating his experience and skill. With Chahal’s current form and the current circumstances, he must be able to consistently challenge Warner.

He has two centuries in as six games and is the top run-scorer. He is the only hitter in the competition who has scored more than 300 runs so far. DC’s bowlers, particularly Kuldeep Yadav, have contributed a great deal. Kuldeep Yadav was named player of the match after having a stats of 2-24 runs in his four overs quota in the recent match. He is the best wicket-taker for DC, with 13 scalps in six games, and is the event’s 2nd-highest wicket-taker. This will promise a brilliant combo.

#3 Prithvi Shaw vs Prasidh Krishna

In the recent matchup, Shaw and Warner had a first-wicket stand of 83 runs in the power play. Shaw has scored 217 runs in six games, with an avg of 36.16, with a 170.86 strike rate, featuring two half-centuries. Prithvi Shaw is the DC’s leading run-scorer and has proven right as the franchise to retain before the auction. Prasidh Krishna, RR’s right-arm medium-pacer, has been quite consistent so far in the 2022 IPL. Prasidh has 5 wickets with an economy of 8.58 in the 6 games he played. With his bowling variations, he is very effective in dealing with well-settled batsmen.

#4 Sanju Samson vs Axar Patel

Despite his effectiveness against both pace and spin, Samson retains Rajasthan’s finest component in the middle overs. With the RR skipper will be hungry to play a significant knock. However, DC’s Axar’s spin expertise will be pivotal in the middle overs, while his bowling offers depth to the bowling attack.
