Delhi Capitals have found a new dynamic since the return of Kuldeep Yadav to the team. The 29-year-old has been economical and also picked key wickets for his team. His biggest test comes when he bowls to South African star Heinrich Klaasen. 

The IPL 2024 has seen the emergence of Heinrich Klaasen as a destroyer of the bowling attacks. SRH have done well to send him at number four or number five depending on the situation. This new role has enabled Klaasen to become a batting enforcer and put the pressure back on the opposition with his brutal hitting.
