IPL 2018: 5 Epic Clashes to be witnessed in this IPL Season

#2 Delhi Daredevils vs Royal Challengers Bangalore

Delhi franchise owners have gone for a complete makeover this season. They have appointed Ricky Ponting as their head coach and brought in Gautam Gambhir and appointed him as the captain of the team. This could well turn out to be a masterstroke decision considering the fact that both Gautam Gambhir and Ricky Ponting were IPL Champions for their previous franchises.

Delhi has been poor in the last five IPL seasons considering they made it to the playoffs way back in 2012 under the captaincy of Virender Sehwag. This time they have a power packed batting line up with the likes of Jason Roy, Colin Munro, Glenn Maxwell, Gautam Gambhir, Shreyas Iyer and Rishab Pant. Bowling will be headed by speedsters Trent Boult, Kagiso Rabada and Avesh Khan followed by leg-spin of Amit Mishra and debutant Sandeep Lamichhane.

Whereas Royal Challengers Bangalore would be desperate to win this year’s trophy after choking in three Finals (2009, 2011 and 2016). Virat Kohli who has been RCB’s best player will play a huge role in turning his team’s fortune this time.

Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir have had many altercations on the field previously. You can never forget the ugly spat between the two in the 2013 season. This would make the contest even more intense and the spectators will be keenly watching Delhi guys when they lead their respective sides.
