IPL 2017: Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Delhi Daredevils, 5 Talking Points

#4 Inexperienced batting line up of the Delhi team

Karun Nair is one of the mainstays in the inexperienced Delhi batting line-up

Delhi Daredevils will surely miss the experience of JP Duminy in the middle order in this year’s IPL. The South African was one of the mainstays in the batting line up of the Daredevils and his experience would have been crucial in chasing a tricky score of 158.

The young players in the Delhi team failed to capitalise on the starts and convert them into a huge score. Most of them were guilty of playing rash strokes after being set and letting the team down.

None of them, except Rishabh Pant, applied themselves on the field resulting in their downfall. While Karun Nair missed a straight delivery from Billy Stanlake, Sanju Samson played a needless pull shot to throw away his wicket. The inexperience in the middle order came to haunt them as they made a mess of the target by losing wickets at regular intervals.

Batting has been a weak link for the Delhi outfit for the past couple of seasons and they will have to do something special to turn things around this year.
