IPL 2022: Top 5 Dangerous Batsmen in DC

MOST DANGEROUS BATSMEN IN DELHI CAPITALS

The ultimate weapon for a team in the T20 format of the game is the batsmen. Believe it or not, the short format is not meant for the steady batsmen, who take time to set at the crease but it is for them who can trigger the pedal right from the word go.

In IPL, the cricket world witnessed some fascinating knocks over the years and batsmen often proved how dangerous they can be with the bat.

Here are some of the Top 5 most dangerous batsmen in Delhi Capitals.

Most Dangerous Batsmen in DC

1. PRITHVI SHAW

Prithvi Shaw has shown unparalleled hunger for runs at every level of cricket he has played and has been named the next big thing in Indian cricket after Virat Kohli. He is capable of immense potential and consistent performance at the first-class level and remains unfazed through the admiration.

With the correct guidance, enough good chances, as well as a judicious distribution of his workload, he may well be his own batting prodigy, who could make the cricketing world bow down to him in the coming years. His stellar stroke-play, formidable footwork, and immaculate consistency made him play division cricket at a very young age of 8-9.

2. DAVID WARNER

Overseas players are a prized asset to any franchise in the Indian Premier League or any league for that matter. David Warner has been the most successful batsman in the history of the IPL. He has smashed over 4000 runs over the years in the IPL, with 35 half-centuries and 3 hundred at a strike rate in the low 140s and an impressive average of 40.55.

Warner has been a crucial player at the top of the order for the franchises he has represented – Delhi Daredevils from 2009 to 2013, and the Sunrisers Hyderabad since 2014 and currently playing for the Delhi franchise. Warner had an average first season with the Daredevils, scoring at an average of 23 runs, and a relatively low strike rate in the 120s.

3. RISHABH PANT

The expertise that the IPL demands and the set of skills that Rishabh Pant posses are absolutely in synchronization. If ever the definition of an ideal T20 batsman would be written, Rishabh Pant would tick most of his features. He is a ferocious hitter of the cricket ball wide comprising a wide array of shots and can clear the boundary ropes with ridiculous ease. The scoops, the paddles, the flicks, you name it and this person has every shot in his repertoire.

4. MANDEEP SINGH

 

Mandeep came into the spotlight after a good show in the Under-19 World Cup in 2010. Singh was one of the top run-getters for India in the competition. Soon after, he made his debut for his state Punjab in the 2010-11 season and has sealed a spot in the Ranji side ever since.

In 2012, he ended IPL-5 as KXIP’s highest run-getter and also won the ‘Rising Star of the Tournament’ award. With the correct guidance, Mandeep Singh can be a very useful asset for the team and can be named one of the most dangerous batsmen in the league.

5. AXAR PATEL

A self-made name batting all-rounder, Patel has had some trouble getting chances to bat up the order. Nevertheless, he has posed difficulty for many batsmen with his accurate bowling, impeding the batsmen for room and buying wickets – the need of the hour in the tournament.

Axar ended the IPL with 17 wickets and also scored some crucial runs down the order. With his young age on his side, and as a focused individual, Axar Patel is one of the finest emerging players in the country. With his ability to score quick runs with the bat and the ability to strangle the runs, he is custom-built for the T20 formats and is likely to be an important asset to any team in the years to come
