IPL 2021, DC vs SRH Preview: Delhi Capitals Eye Top Spot, SunRisers Hyderabad Fight For Survival
NDTV
Delhi Capitals will look to continue their good form from the first leg of IPL 2021 as they take on Kane Williamson-led Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Delhi Capitals have been the team to beat in IPL 2021, with Rishabh Pant doing a brilliant job leading the franchise in Shreyas Iyer's absence. But all that was before a Covid outbreak in the IPL bio-bubble led to the postponement of the tournament. Iyer is back but Pant will continue to lead the side, at least for the remainder of this season. Delhi will be hoping to pick up things from where they left off in India and their first test comes in the form of bottom-placed SunRisers Hyderabad on Wednesday.
While DC were the form team in the first phase in India, SRH endured a nightmare. The team had just one win under their belt from seven games.
SRH's dreadful showing cost David Warner his captaincy and he was replaced by Kane Williamson before the tournament was halted.
The Covid-enforced break, however, came at the right time for SRH. The team has now had time regroup and will be hoping a change of scenery brings about a change in fortunes.
