The Delhi Capitals are leaving no stone unturned as they begin the quest for their maiden IPL title. The Delhi-based franchise has been immensely active on social media where they have been regularly posting bits from training sessions. On Tuesday, the franchise's Instagram handle took to the photo and video sharing site and uploaded a video where South African speedster Kagiso Rabada is bowling to Shikhar Dhawan. In the video, Kagiso Rabada bowls an absolute peach on good length as Shikhar Dhawan gets beaten.

Kagiso Rabada was in sensational form last year in the IPL and was one of the main reasons behind Delhi making it to the playoffs. The right-arm pacer bagged 25 wickets in just 12 matches at a stunning average of 14.12. Kagiso Rabada will look to replicate his performances from last year and help the Delhi Capitals end their IPL title drought.

Besides Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Shikhar Dhawan and Shimron Hetmyer, the Capitals have also acquired the services of seasoned campaigners in the form of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ajinkya Rahane for the IPL 2020.
