Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore will go head to head against each other in the 2021 Indian Premier League match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. As these two star-studded teams play against one another, there will some good cricket to witness and at the same time, fans will have the opportunity to get some handful of points to their name. However, while selecting the teams it is important to judge more than a couple of factors. Information on a player’s past record at the venue can help you to at least evaluate whom not to pick.
Here are the 3 players whom you should avoid in fantasy team for the match between Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore:
Axar Patel
Axar Patel returned from his illness in the previous match and was seen to perform extremely well with the ball. However, it is a truth that the left-arm spinner doesn’t take a lot of wickets. He is generally economical but it is the lack of wickets that sometimes can put him under pressure. On top of that, he bats too low to create a significant impact with the bat. At best, he can get a quick 10 or 15 runs. Add a wicket or none to that, you will realize that it is better to go with someone else.
Yuzvendra Chahal
Yuzvendra Chahal did pick a wicket in the previous match, but it is worth noting that this season of the IPL hasn’t been as fruitful as he would have hoped. Now, with RCB traveling to Ahmedabad, it is not likely that there will be any improvement in his bowling as there isn’t likely to be any assistance from the surface for the leg-spinner. He was also dropped from the Indian team after a disappointing start in the T20I series against England.
Shimron Hetymer
Shimron Hetymer is a tremendous talent with the bat and will surely become one of the best batsmen of his generation. However, the talent of the youngster has not been completely explored in the IPL 2021. At the Delhi team, he gets to bat at no.5 or no.6, which isn’t ideal for him.
He has the ability to get on and get a big score when he bats in the top order. Having said that, moving to Ahmedabad won’t really change his fortune. It is better to pick a batsman who can bat for a significant amount of time.
