Daredevils has too many all rounder players at the disposal. Having bought too many expensive players this season, Delhi isn’t using all of them together. However Punjab also has adequate number of expensive players with them and currently stands a step ahead of Delhi as far as match statistics are concerned. While Punjab has earned 4 points after playing 3 matches, Delhi has 2 points after 2 matches. Today’s match will decide the fate of both the team in the current season of IPL. Here we find out if the expensive players of both the teams are worth the money already. Check out the slideshow to find it out.

With proper leadership under Zaheer Khan, we are yet to find Cummins’ actual potential.

Are Pat Cummins and T Natarajan worth the crores they were bought for?

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], March 26 (ANI): Punjab Kings skipper Shikhar Dhawan believes that their side fell 15 to 20 runs short and <keyword id="19907934" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="virat-kohli" source="keywords">Virat Kohli</keyword>'s dropped catch contributed to their four-wicket defeat against <keyword id="21019173" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="royal-challengers-bengaluru" source="keywords">Royal Challengers Bengaluru</keyword> at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Monday. After being put to bat, PBKS lost <keyword id="20088222" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="jonny-bairstow" source="keywords">Jonny Bairstow</keyword> and the dismissal hindered their capability to put runs on the board. Runs came slowly from Dhawan's bat while Prabhsimran took time to settle on the pitch, which resulted in PBKS amassing just 40/1. After the game, Dhawan opened up about their struggle in the powerplay and said, "It was a good game, we brought the game back and again we lost it. We scored 10-15 runs less, in the first six overs I played a bit slow. Those 10-15 runs cost us and the dropped catch as well. I am happy with my runs but I thought I could have played a bit more fast in the first six overs, that's the only thing I felt. We lost wickets as well, we lost two wickets continuously and that put pressure on us." In the second innings, on the second ball of the first over, Jonny Bairstow dropped <keyword id="19918530" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="virat" source="keywords">Virat</keyword> Kohli's catch and the stalwart batter went on to score 77 runs in just 49 deliveries, which was laced with eleven fours and two maximums. "Virat scored 70-odd runs and we dropped a catch of the class player, we paid the price. If we had taken that catch, the momentum would have come from the second ball. But we lost the momentum over there and then we paid the price for that," he added. While the established pace duo of Harshal Patel and Arshdeep Singh leaked a total of 85 runs and lead spinner <keyword id="21083028" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rahul-chahar" source="keywords">Rahul Chahar</keyword> gave away 16 runs in a single over, Harpreet Brar emerged as a game-changer for PBKS. During his spell, he kept the run rate in check, gave away just 13 runs and claimed two crucial wickets. "He's bowling really well, especially bowling against left-handers, tremendous the way he soaked in the pressure and got us the breakthroughs. It's a very big thing in Punjab, the Kabaddi thing, the people really connect with that thigh-five, happy to see him do it," Dhawan said while praising Harpreet.

A dropped catch, 10-15 runs cost us, says Punjab Kings skipper Shikhar Dhawan

On Tuesday, Kolkata Knight Riders will continue their fairy-tale run in the seventh edition of the Indian Premier League with their Qualifier against pre-tournament favourites Kings XI Punjab. KXIP dropped just six points on their way to the Play-offs, while the 2012 champions began their campaign on a horrid note, picked up in the middle and made it into the last four thanks to a seven-match winning streak.
 

	Four players have played a crucial hand in their dramatic turnaround, and will hold the key in putting it past KXIP in front of a capacity crowd at their home ground, the Eden Gardens.
 

	Robin Uthappa
 Much like other teams, <keyword id="6354544" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="KKR">KKR</keyword> were also chopping and changing in their bid to find the right eleven players during the UAE leg of the tournament, a period during which they suffered. The opening combination didn't fit with Gautam Gambhir in woeful touch and Jacques Kallis failing to find fifth gear, while Manish Pandey and Manvinder Bisla couldn't answer the call. UAE leg over, and Uthappa was pushed to open the innings and to the average fan, he single-handedly scripted the turnaround. 

	Since opening the innings, Uthappa has gone on to topple Glenn Maxwell and Dwayne Smith to become the leading run-scorer with an envious run of form: 47, 65, 47, 46, 80, 40, 67, 83* and 41 have been his previous nine innings. Uthappa has been the backbone of KKR's batting thanks to which big-hitters like Shakib Al Hasan and Yusuf Pathan have flourished. Against KXIP, he will be the key to flatten a KXIP side who have been on a roll of their own.
 

	Sunil Narine
 

	The West Indian was retained by the franchise for a very specific reason, and he hasn't disappointed. Narine is the best on show as far as his craft is concerned, and remains a threat against any team thanks to his deadly accurate offspin. In the two previous games against KXIP, Narine had figures of 3 for 24 and 1 for 30 from his four overs. While KKR couldn't get over the line in Abu Dhabi, they managed to do so in Cuttack. Narine has also been the tournament's leading wicket-taker so far, tied on 20 from 13 games with Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
 

	While Bhuvneshwar's Sunrisers Hyderabad have been eliminated, Narine has a chance to consolidate his position further. While he hasn't taken wickets with as much regularity as he would have liked, teams have found it difficult to score against him. Gambhir has used him intelligently - Narine bowls two, sometimes three overs at the back end of the innings and that's where teams have struggled against him. In addition to his 20 scalps, Narine has been the most economical too, going at 6.00 runs per over. Only twice have KXIP not managed to score over 150 in completed innings, and both have come against the bowling attack featuring Narine.
 

	Yusuf Pathan
 

	KKR's batting order worries in the UAE were not only attributed to the top order, but the failure of their middle order to hold them together. Yusuf Pathan showed glimpses of his old spark in a defeat to Chennai Super Kings, but the Yusuf known for his belligerence was missing.
 

	Against SRH at Eden Gardens, however, Yusuf rose to the occasion with a blistering 72 from just 22 balls that took his team home in a big chase in just 14.2 overs. KKR had given themselves two chances at the final, and while everything else fell into place since returning to India, the spark in Yusuf that was missing ensured they were firing on all cylinders.
 

	Yusuf had tore into Dale Steyn for 26 in an over, and how he counters the pace of Mitchell Johnson and co. could determine the outcome of the fixture.
 

	Shakib Al Hasan
 

	Two agonizingly close defeats to Rajasthan Royals - the one with the Super Over and the other that featured the implosion - had threatened to derail KKR's campaign, but the Bangladesh allrounder ensured they came close. Since then, though, Shakib has played an important part in some of KKR's victories with both bat and ball.
 

	Shakib is has been second best only to Narine in terms of economy rate, and has broken crucial stands with his left-arm spin, providing an able back-up to Narine from the other end. His hard-hitting innings of 60 and 46* ensured victories over Royal Challengers Bangalore and CSK, keeping KKR's winning streak unbroken. Together with Narine, he will be tasked with keeping a big-hitting KXIP batting line-up at bay, and batting at No 5 to see the team to either a big total or home in a chase.
