Today we assess the Delhi Capitals IPL 2020 title campaign. The Indian Premier League is in its 13th edition this year. The tournament whose scheduled start took place on 19th September 2020 has lived up to the hype and excitement that any IPL tournament tends to generate. We have seen some explosive batting performances on the dry batting wickets of the United Arab Emirates.
However, one thing that has shone through is the insurmountable talent shown by the Indian youngsters over their foreign counterparts. The domestic players have outshone their illustrious rivals by a significant margin and this is a trend that was missing in the IPL for a considerable period.
Delhi Capitals IPL 2020 Title Campaign
Among the teams, Delhi Capitals have emerged as the most balanced and well-synchronized unit in the tournament standing atop the points table with 2 wins from 2 matches. If they continue in the same vein, we can very well see the Delhi franchise finally going to the finals and lifting the trophy. The following are a few factors that would contribute if Delhi is to go deep into the tournament. We discuss here the reasons that may contribute to Delhi Capitals IPL 2020 title campaign.

A plethora of Indian Batting Talent
The factor that is expected to boost the chances of Delhi’s journey to their maiden IPL trophy this year would be the first promising young Indian talents they have in their team. Led by the youngest captain in this tournament, Shreyas Iyer, the Capitals have Prithvi Shaw and Rishabh Pant, two India prospects and two players who have come with immense promise and performances in the domestic circuit.
To give them the company would be the experienced India opener, Shikhar Dhawan, a veteran in this format of the game. DC has added Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis to the squad who along with Shimron Hetmyer would form a deadly combination in the lower middle order, thus bolstering DC’s batting strength and depth. Axar Patel, if used judiciously, would also be a trump card for Shreyas as the all-rounder can strike some meaty blows and can pick wickets simultaneously. Among the reasons that may contribute to Delhi Capitals IPL 2020 title campaign.
Balanced Bowling Attack
DC in Kagiso Rabada has one of the most fearsome fast bowlers in the world today. His mere presence would be a cause of worry for the opposition batsmen as the bowler can not only generate an uncomfortable place but also bowls an immaculate line and length, very difficult for any top class batsmen to negotiate. To give him the company would be his South African team-mate Anrich Nortje who again can rattle the batsman with sheer pace.
Ishant Sharma could provide the much-needed experience to this bowling order whereas Avesh Khan might get a look in, in some of the matches as well. In Ravichandran Ashwin, they have one of the most skillful and experienced bowlers in the tournament who have had a glittering IPL career over the years. His experience of bowling to the best batsmen in world cricket would come in handy. Among the reasons that may contribute to Delhi Capitals IPL 2020 title campaign.

World-Class Coaching Staff
Finally, the factor that could turn things in Delhi’s favor is the presence of an absolute world-class coaching staff. Under the tutelage of Ricky Ponting, they have one of the most astute and fierce cricketing minds to have ever graced the game. The competitive spirit and the never say die attitude of Punter would be reflecting in the team.
Moreover, nobody loves a good fight more than Ricky, something we have seen an innumerable number of times in international cricket. DC would also be benefited from the presence of Mohammad Kaif, another Indian veteran who has seen the extreme highs and lows of the game. Add to that Kaif’s legendary exploits in the field, something that would make DC an even fitter outfit. Among the key reasons that may contribute to Delhi Capitals IPL 2020 title campaign.
