Among the Delhi capitals, wicketkeeper Batter KL Rahul is on the verge of breaking the batting mastro Virat Kohli’s elusive T20 trick to become the fastest Indian to reach the 8000 -run mark in the T20s. Rahul can shatter Virat’s record and can become the fastest for reaching the 8000-Run’s landmark during the do-or-dye fixtures of Delhi Capital against Gujarat Titans in his house on Sunday. 33 -year -old, milestone has 33 runs lower and to become the fastest Indian to achieve achievement in its 214th T20 innings, crossing the record of Virat of 243 innings.
He has a chance to become the second fastest player in the format, which shows Pakistan’s leading batsman Babar Azam, who achieved feat in 218 innings.
The Titans of Gujarat could have spoiled Rahul’s party by lining the fiery star against their top level spinner Rashid Khan. Afghanistan ball Twicker has stopped Rahul contrary to others. In 47 delivery, Rahul has scored just 40 runs losing his wicket thrice in this process.
On the other hand, Delhi Capital captain Exer Patel is a regular yearning of spin in the 18th edition of the Cash-Rich League. Southpow has hit beautifully at 192.85 and among those who have scored at least 100 against spin, only West Indies Power-Hiter Nicholas Goran has maintained a better strike rate (264) than the DC captain.
In the upcoming stability that will determine the DC’s playoff fate, the order between the host GT will be blinded to take advantage of inexperience. Gujarat’s top three batsmen, Shubman Gill, Sai Reformson and Jose Butler have played an average of 88 balls per innings.
On the other hand, his batsmen have faced only 28 balls per innings from 4 to 11 numbers 4 to 4. After the top-3 of GT, the lack of experience could play Delhi in favor of Delhi’s high scoring Arun Jaitley Stadium.
