The Shreyas Iyer-led outfit will kick off its IPL 2020 campaign against Kings XI Punjab this Sunday, and the skipper is looking forward to breaking a significant record in the upcoming season.

Delhi Capitals have a strong spin attack in Amit Mishra, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Sandeep Lamichhane while having quality batsmen like Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant, and the skipper. Their pace attack will be led by Ishant Sharma, Kagiso Rabada, and Anrich Nortje. The finishers will be Shimron Hetmyer and Marcus Stoinis.

Shreyas Iyer Would Miss Opportunities To Explore Cities During IPL 2020

Shreyas Iyer revealed that he re-watched his captaincy debut against Kolkata Knight Riders the most before labeling it as his best IPL performance. The COVID-19 pandemic has ensured that all IPL 2020 teams are staying in a bio-bubble in UAE.

Shreyas Iyer said that he would miss exploring the cities during this IPL season when asked about what he would miss the most because of the restrictions in place amidst the corona-virus pandemic.

Lastly, he mentioned that he has always enjoyed playing against Sunrisers Hyderabad’s leg-spinner Rashid Khan. The two players will lock horns again on 29th September in Abu Dhabi as Delhi take on them in a rematch of last year’s Eliminator.
