Akash Chopra Picks the Best Batter of DC: After a disastrous start to their campaign, the Delhi Capitals have been in incredible form lately, winning four of the 5 matches they played. Being the media favourite player, Rishab Pant has been taking the limelight of these victories.
As the Capitals are about to face the second-placed Kolkata Knight Riders today at Eden Gardens, former Indian player Aaksh Chopra picks the most dangerous batter DC have, and it is not Rishab Pant.

Aakash Chopra picks the Australian batter Jake Fraser-McGurk as DC’s best batting asset this season. The commentator is eager to see ‘What Kolkata does to stop him’.
“Let’s take a look at the DC squad; Jake Fraser-McGurk is in top form. I’m eager to see what Kolkata does to stop him. No team is bowling spin very often, and I think you should. It is possible to remove the notorious Australian batter if you follow through on it,”
Chopra stated.
Jake has scored 247 runs so far with a strike rate of 237.5 for DC. The player was the match-winner for the Capitals against Hardik Pandyas MI in the last match.

Though the commentator snubbed Pant for naming him as the best, Chopra gave him the second position in the DC squad.
“Rishabh Pant should be the second player because of his batting prowess. If spinners like Varun Chakaravarthy and Sunil Narine play, Pant’s skill against spin would be effective. Despite Shai Hope’s strong performance last match, I believe Pant is still the best choice to move up the batting order if given the opportunity,”
opined the former batter.
Chopra picks Rasikh Salam to be the third game-changer for the team.
“Since spin bowling may be ineffective in this situation, I suggest selecting Rasikh Salam as the third player. He has been bowling excellently lately. This match will pose a formidable challenge, as Knight Riders has strong hitters like Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, and Ramandeep Singh,”
Chopra said.
