IPL 2019 DC vs MI Preview: All eyes on Pant as Mumbai plans to pip Delhi



In match 34 of the VIVO Indian Premier League 2019 (IPL 2019), Delhi Capitals (DC) will host Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Feroz Shah Kotla Ground in New Delhi on Thursday. The recent shuffling in the 2019 IPL points table has sent Shreyas Iyer-led Delhi Capitals at the second spot while Rohit Sharma's Mumbai Indians are just behind them at the third. Delhi's key batsman Rishabh Pant will be the cynosure of all eyes after his exclusion from India's 15-member squad for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 in May. On the eve of the match, Delhi Capitals captain Shreyas Iyer suffered an injury scare when he was hit on the right arm during training at Feroz Shah Kotla. There was no official update given on the extent of his injury. However, in his absence, Shikhar Dhawan might lead the Delhi Capitals. But Iyer's absence will be felt in the DC's playing 11 as he is leading run-getter in for Delhi with 266 runs at an average of 33.25
The contest between the two sides holds a lot of significance as the tournament is in the second leg and any deviation from victory may land any team in trouble. However, MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings are an expection with their brilliant show so far.
Delhi is high on cofidence and their skipper, Shreyas Iyer, also intoned the same when he said the team is eyeing the coveted title this time after their rather successful show so far. Clearly the side is reaping benefits from the presence of Australian great Ricky Ponting's coaching and Bengal Tiger Saurav Ganguly role as advisor. Read More
