Delhi Capitals started well last season won five of their first six matches under captain Axar Patel. Despite their good start, they eventually failed to qualify for the playoffs due to a collapse in the second part of the campaign, losing five out of the eight games in the second half.
KL Rahul has been a batter who has been experimented with the most in all positions, which brings its own challenges, and has performed well. However, Kaif believes that the stylish batter should open the innings for the Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2026.
I think he will open- Mohammad Kaif on KL Rahul
“The problem is that they ask KL Rahul to bat at No. 4 or do the finishing role. He should go and play his game, and as an opener. They have David Miller and Tristan Stubbs as well this time.”
DC this time has a lot of options with opener as they bought Ben Duckett, Pathum Nissanka, and have the option of KL Rahul, Prithvi Shaw, and Karun Nair as well. With five openers, they need to sort them down quickly to have their best XI from the very start.
Delhi Capitals have strong middle order
Kaif further said, “The biggest thing is David Miller. He will bat at No. 5 or No. 6 on that Delhi pitch, and he is in great form. So they have done two things. They have filled their squad with a lot of openers and brought in Miller.”
