Aakash Chopra also praised Meg Lanning as a savvy captain, stating that her composure on the field contributes to the team’s success.
The Women’s Premier League 2023 is nearing its conclusion as the Gujarat Giants take on the Delhi Capitals at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, India, today. Given that the Gujarat Giants sit at the bottom of the points table with only one victory and that their fate will be decided later that evening, this match will be critical for them. While the Delhi Capitals are in a good position in the standings, having won four of their last five matches, they will be looking to secure a spot in the playoffs tonight. Aakash Chopra, a former Indian cricketer, lauded the Delhi Capitals squad and supported Shafali Verma despite her poor play in the WPL 2023.
“It is vital to understand why Delhi is performing so well. Shafali Verma—blow hot, blow cold—is tolerated by the audience. Meg Lanning’s expression will not reveal why Shafali is performing in this manner. She is aware that Shafali will play sparingly one day and aggressively the next. “Chopra was cited during the Aakash Vani program on Jio Cinema.
“I believe Meg Lanning’s captaincy is brilliant. She has an excellent grasp of the game’s tempo. Hence, you will observe how she rotates the bowlers without being hurried. She has a completely serene approach as a player who genuinely understands and is in control, “Chopra added.
Aakash Chopra praises the versatility of the Delhi Capitals team.
Chopra believes that each player in the middle order has been assigned certain tasks, and he complimented them individually.
“Alice Capsey’s role is defined; she will approach and strike. Marisanne Kapp will play with restraint. Jemimah Rodrigues is able to accelerate and will prevent a collapse from occurring. There is a small issue in the batting order following that, as Jess Jonassen must bat, “Chopra added.
The former Indian cricketer also discussed the versatility of the Delhi Capitals’ bowling, specifically mentioning Shikha Pandey, who is in the running for the purple cap.
“Shikha Pandey began the bowling event sluggishly, but since then, she has improved tremendously. She is in contention for the Purple Cap, and, oddly, she is the bowler who has caused the most misfires throughout the entire competition. Jess Jonassen is a good bowler. They have Radha Yadav bowl the first ball. They are an excellent team. “He reached a conclusion.
