Aakash Chopra said that the 6^th placed Rishabh Pant is likely to play one or two blistering knocks for Delhi this season. The former Rajasthan Royals player has placed Rohit Sharma at 5.

Apart from Shreyash Iyer’s tremendous form, his fitness and hunger for runs made me rank him at 4^th said Chopra. Aakash Chopra who is often known for his critical remarks on M.S.Dhoni’s batting has placed the CSK skipper at 3^rd. This has surprised quite a few.  Aakash said, Kohli ticks all the boxes necessary to play well in UAE ranging from fitness to running between the wickets which made him place Kohli at 2^nd.
