IPL 2022 Delhi Capitals preview: DC have gambled everything on Rishabh Pant’s rising star

With Delhi Capitals reassembling their batting line-up, more batting responsibility lies with Rishabh Pant, especially when it comes to hitting prowess, writes Chetan Narula in the team preview here.

Mumbai Indians’ five titles to Delhi Capitals’ none will matter little when the heavyweights, equipped with multiple match-winners, lock horns in a clash of titans in a new IPL on Sunday.

Mumbai have retained their core in skipper Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Kieron Pollard and pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, and the role of these four would be crucial against DC at the Cricket Club of India (CCI), as well against other teams through the season.

While the leadership skills and tactical acumen of Rohit, who is now the India captain in all formats, are well documented, how Rishabh Pant performs as skipper will be watched with interest, keeping in mind the need to identify future leaders for the country. Read the preview of the match here.
