NEW DELHI: Punjab Kings are on a six-match unbeaten streak five wins and a no result in the ongoing IPL. Two more wins would equal their best-ever run from 13 years ago. Their next opponents, Delhi Capitals, are on the opposite end of the momentum scale.With three wins in six played and three losses in the last four, DC are sixth in the IPL standings. The only win in the last two weeks was a penultimate-ball win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Bengaluru.The next two weeks could make or break the Delhi Capitals campaign with four of the next five games at home. The only road game during this period is against the Rajasthan Royals.In the two home games DC has played so far, they beat Mumbai Indians by 6 wickets in one and lost by 1 run to Gujarat Titans in the other, a contest that went down to the last ball.That inability to chase down 211 runs is part of DC's problems this year. They are yet to eclipse a 200-plus-run target this season and and have fallen short in 8 of 10 attempts since 2024."It has seemed worse because we have been chasing every game. The other day we lost three wickets in an over and we didnt bat very well. We still made 190 something," said DC's Tristan Stubbs on the eve of the day clash against PBKS at the Arun Jaitley Stadium."Yes, we havent had the perfect innings, but on a bad day we have won three out of six. Even when we have lost, we have still scored 190.""We know there are a couple of small moments here and there in the games. We are scoring these big scores. We are not too worried," he continued.The challenge persists in the lack of clarity regarding first-choice options. Pathum Nissanka has had three rapid knocks of 40-plus at the top of the batting order for the franchise while also registering scores of 1, 1 and 8 to offset that impact.No. 3 spot has been the most 'adventurous'. Nitish Rana, Sameer Rizvi and Karun Nair have all been tried with the final output reading 88 runs at an average of 14.66. Rana was even dropped for poor returns before scoring 57 against SRH in the last match. DelhiCapitals (@DelhiCapitals) Sameer Rizvi started well, helping the team with two consecutive Player of the Match performances but things have dried down since. His contributions in the last four outings have been 0, 6, 2, and 41.The uncertainty is also true in the bowling department. In the absence of Mitchell Starc, Lungi Ngidi and Mukesh Kumar have carried the responsibility in the seam bowling department. However, the spinners haven't joined the party.Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel have combined for 11 wickets this season while conceding 341 runs in 38 overs at an economy of nearly 9 an over. As SRH piled up 242, they bowled just two overs each while Nitish Rana completed his quota of overs.With the key stretch ahead and Starc set to join next week, this is an important contest for the franchise to figure out its best combination -- which so far seems unclear. 130509033

Shreyas Iyer is one of the most compelling names in cricket right now. The way he has bossed the IPL has reignited calls from fans and pundits alike for his return to Indias T20I setup. But this surge is not built on one standout season alone. In the past few years, since embracing the demands of captaincy, Iyer has not only shown how able a leader he can be, but also as a batter who has dominated seasons while balancing the dual roles of anchor and aggressor.In IPL 2020, he was the captain of Delhi Capitals, and under his leadership, the team reached its first IPL final. In that season, Iyer contributed significantly with the bat as well, scoring 519 runs in 17 innings at a strike rate of 123.27. Soon after, when he became the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2024, the team won their third title after 12 years under his leadership, and he contributed 351 runs in 15 matches.In IPL 2025, he was picked by the Punjab Kings, and the team reached the final for the first time in 11 years. That season turned out to be career-defining for Iyer, as he delivered his most explosive batting performance, accumulating 604 runs in 17 matches at a strike rate of 175.07.One common factor in his leadership is that he not only guides his teammates but also contributes himself, whether on the field or with the bat, relieving pressure in tight matches. Last year in Qualifier 2 against the Mumbai Indians, he single-handedly dominated the chase, even hitting the worlds best bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, for a six with complete authority.Struggling Form of Suryakumar YadavSuryakumar Yadav, who is currently Indias T20I captain, has had a very successful campaign overall. He led India to the T20 World Cup 2026 title and the Asia Cup 2025 title, and he also holds the record for the highest win percentage among Indian T20I captains (minimum 20 matches). In 52 matches as captain, he has led India to 40 wins, 8 losses, and 2 no-results.However, concerns over his leadership revolve around his age and recent dip in batting form. He scored 242 runs in the five-match home series against New Zealand in early 2026, breaking Virat Kohlis previous record of 231 runs. He also completed 1,000 T20I runs as Indias captain during his match-winning 84 (49) against the USA in the 2026 T20 World Cup.But in ICC tournaments, his contributions with the bat have been relatively limited. In the Asia Cup 2025, he scored just 72 runs in 7 matches, and in the T20 World Cup 2026, he scored 242 runs in 9 innings. Despite India winning the World Cup, his strike rate of 136.72 was the lowest among Indian batters in the tournament, and he struggled in the knockout stages, including a duck in the final against New Zealand.In IPL 2025, he emerged as the MVP, scoring 717 runs in 16 matches. However, in the ongoing IPL season, his numbers have dipped, managing just 121 runs in 6 matches so far. His recent outing against Punjab Kings on April 16 resulted in a golden duck, where he was dismissed by Arshdeep Singh and against Gujarat Titans on Monday, he started well, but was cleaned up by an absolute seed from Kagiso Rabada for 15.Looking ahead, the next major T20I event is the T20 World Cup 2028, where India will defend their title and the same year cricket will be part of the 2028 LA Olympics. By then, Suryakumar Yadav will be 38. And alongside an Iyer, players like Rajat Patidar, are pushing for opportunities in the middle-order, meaning a continued dip in form for SKY could put his place under pressure in the next cycle.Now, Why Does Shreyas Iyer Fit in the Leadership Scheme of India?Iyer has not only won titles but has also performed consistently across formats and with different teams and players, making him a frontrunner.However, Iyer will face tough competition from other players in the T20 setup. Patidar, who led RCB to a title in his first season after an 18-year wait, has also impressed with both bat and leadership. Axar Patel, who has served as Indias vice-captain, is also in the leadership race, although his recent form has dipped. Sanju Samson, who has a regular place in the T20I setup, is another strong contender, having played crucial knocks in major matches.What makes Iyer unique among them is his consistency over the years. He has continuously performed with the bat and delivered results as a leader. In the 2024-2026 seasons, Shreyas Iyer has received widespread appreciation from the cricket fraternity for his tactical maturity and leadership resilience, especially after guiding three different franchises to IPL finals.Expert Commendations on LeadershipAnil Kumble: Termed him a "certainly underrated skipper," highlighting the difficulty of switching franchises and immediately leading them to a final, a feat Iyer achieved by taking PBKS to the 2025 final in his debut season.Ricky Ponting: The PBKS head coach stated that Iyer has "taken his game to a whole another level" and described him as a leader who has completely matured both personally and tactically.Brad Haddin: Lauded him as a "game-changer" who truly cares for his players, noting his unique record of leading three different teams (DC, KKR, PBKS) to IPL finals.Recently, Ravichandran Ashwin highlighted how Shreyas Iyers red-hot form fueling his captaincy"Just the comfort that he is creating around the team, to say, we will have a brotherly conversation. It's a brotherhood here. At the end of the day, I have played in teams where there is always that layer that you can't... You are just not able to go up to the captain or the coach and say, 'I will deliver this for you'. And it's happened. Just the fact that he has kept it simple like how it is being done in your gully or in your tennis-ball game back home, where we do this all the time with our captain or with our friend. That atmosphere is amazing. And I think the way he is batting, he is growing into the role of a leader that the players are looking up to, which is a lethal combination," Ashwin said.Shreyas Iyers rise as both a batter and a captain makes him one of the strongest contenders to make a comeback in Indias T20I setup for next T20I World Cup cycle and leadership scheme. While Suryakumar Yadav remains the current leader, the combination of Iyers consistent performances, proven captaincy across teams, and ability to handle pressure situations puts him in a strong position for the future. 130508563
