The absence of runs from Warner’s bat is a concern for DC, who are currently bottom of the league.
“Delhi Capitals’ confidence has increased after winning two consecutive matches,” Harbhajan stated on Star Sports’ Cricket Live, “but captain David Warner’s lack of runs in the last few matches is a cause for concern.” Yes, some young players have stepped forward and accepted responsibility, but Delhi’s problem remains where it began. They were and still are in last place.”
CSK, on the other hand, is rank second, and the MS Dhoni-led team appears to be the favorites to finish in the top four. Former India cricketer Irfan Pathan praised MS Dhoni for his superb tactical tactics that helped CSK advance.
