Known to have a golden arm, LSG all-rounder Shardul Thakur has lived up to the reputation with his bowling display this season. He is their leading wicket-taker with 12 scalps from eight games at an average of 25.66 and a strike-rate of 14.00.

Wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav has been in good rhythm with the ball in the ongoing IPL season. With 12 wickets from seven games at an average of 14.58 and an economy rate of just 6.25, he is the leading wicket-taker for DC.

While he dismissed just one batter, Sai Sudharsan, in the last match against Gujarat Titans, he gave away only 30 runs from his four overs. Given the conditions in Lucknow, Kuldeep will be an important asset with the ball for Delhi.

Against the likes of Nicholas Pooran, Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, and Rishabh Pant, Kuldeep Yadav's performance with the ball will be crucial for the visitors.
