After the first weekend comprising exciting cricket, the Second weekend will witness many more clinical matches in the league. The second weekend continues with the Saturday encounter witnessing the Rajasthan Royals taking on the Delhi Capitals who would look to register their first win of the tournament.
Let's take a look at the 3 most debatable contests between the players from both sides :
#1 Jos Buttler vs Khaleel Ahmed
The English skipper has shown terrific form in international cricket, leading his team to a massive win in the T20 World Cup and then his commanding performance in the longer 50-over format as well. After portraying his calibre in the IPL season of 2022 he is feared by all opposition and Delhi's leading bowler in the powerplays, Khaleel Ahmed would be counted on to hit the scalp hard and create difficulties with his left-arm angle. Buttler is the most crucial wicket in the entire Royals batting lineup.
#2 Shimron Hetmyer vs Anrich Nortje
The hard-hitting West Indian has evolved to be a great finisher in the shorter format of the game, similar to many others from the Caribbean Ring of Fire. Hetmyer has gradually outcasted many giants of the game and has been the most efficient in his position in the Royals setup. After showing his merit in the early games already, he will be feared off in the death overs and hence Warner would switch to his most experienced bowling aid, Anrich Nortje to hit the timber with his raw pace.
#3 Sanju Samson vs Axar Patel
The Royals skipper has shown great resistance early in the tournament and is widely known for providing genuine contributions in the middle order, especially scoring a bundle of runs at an amazing strike rate. Indian all-rounder Axar Patel who faced an unlikely situation of not bowling a single over in the last game would be given a big role in entrapping the IPL veteran. Warner after being criticized for not bowling Axar last game, would genuinely look to bring him on against the mighty hitter.
