The Delhi Daredevils and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will be looking to start their road to recovery when they face each other in the 45th match of the Indian Premier League in Delhi on Saturday.
After 10 matches played, both teams have six points to their name and are placed on the last two positions on the league table, which means there is no room for error from here on in.
For Delhi, the responsibility in the batting department will be shared by in-form captain Shreyas Iyer, who has scored 351 runs in 10 matches at an average of 50.14, and wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant, who is franchise’s leading run-getter in the tournament with 393 runs at an average of 39.30.
The form of all-rounder Glenn Maxwell remained a serious cause of concern for the team management, as he has only managed to score 133 runs in nine matches at a disappointing average of 14.77.
In the bowling department, the responsibility of leading the attack is on pacer Trent Boult, who has claimed 13 wickets in 10 matches. The return of leg-spinner Amit Mishra has also eased burden on Boult.

On the other hand, RCB‘s case study of failure is hard to believe to say the least, as they have arguably the two best batsman of this generation in the team – Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. In the last match, RCB suffered another defeat in a nail-biting encounter by five runs against Sunrises Hyderabad.
In the batting department, the focus will be on captain Kohli to lead from the front as he is RCB’s leading run-scorer in the tournament with 396 runs at an average of 49.50.
The role of young Mandeep Singh, who usually bats at number five in the batting order and has already scored 232 runs at an average of 33.14, will be crucial in Saturday’s match.
In the bowling department, pacer Umesh Yadav is franchise’s best bowler of the tournament so far with 14 wickets in 10 matches, and he will be expected to produce the goods once again.
