IPL 2021: 3 top run-scorers for the Delhi Capitals so far

The Delhi Capitals (DC) have been the side to beat in IPL 2021 so far and their strong run continued even in the UAE as they pipped Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and the Rajasthan Royals (RR) to consolidate their position at the top of the points table.

Delhi's batsmen have been crucial in their wins with openers Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw leading from the front. Their IPL Capatin Rishabh Pant has played his part with some destructive cameos in the end, and they will look to boost their middle order in the matches to come.

That said, we take a look at the three top run-scorers for DC in the tournament so far.
