Delhi Capital, head coach Ricky Ponting said for the berths in the playing XI was getting intense as the league is coming closer. The 13th edition of the Indian Premier League will start on September 19.
Delhi Capitals will be up against the Kings XI Punjab in their starting match of the Indian Premier League 2020 in Dubai on September 20.
Delhi Capitals came in this season with some high-quality players. Captain Shreyas Iyer and the head coach Ricky Ponting are struggling in settling down the team line up.
“Counting down the days until we start our season on Sunday. The boys have been outstanding with their training and preparation and competition for spots in the starting eleven is certainly hot. Exactly what you want as a coach,” Ponting tweeted.
Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw are definately the first choice openers for Delhi Capitals as the duo showed a marvellous performance last year.
Delhi’s side roped in Ajinkya Rahane, Marcus Stionis, Shimron Hatmeyr, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Jason Roy is also fit to play.
Looking onto the current form Jason Roy should be the prior choice for the opening slot for the team as he is in position of his career since the last year World Cup. The Australian star Marcus Stionis will be the key player in the middle order for the Delhi based franchise this year but still, there is uncertainty when it comes to position of his batting.
