A look at a few debutants, who are expected to make a difference in the T20 tournament. Dewald BrevisNicknamed as "Baby ABD" for his stroke-making skills, South Africa's Dewald Brewis is a right-handed batter and a handy leg-break bowler. Known for playing wide range of shots, he was picked up by five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians in the IPL auctions earlier this year.
Rishabh Pant has put in a lot of work behind the scenes as far as both his batting and wicket-keeping skills are concerned. Since his international debut in 2017, Pant has gone through various phases - some good, some not so much. What has been heartening to see though is that he has stayed true to his natural attacking style of play with the bat. He has also of course received tremendous support from everyone he has been involved with - both at the India and the IPL levels. Most people realised pretty early on that Pant is a s[special talent and they decided to back him to the hilt. With time, Pant has managed to cement his place in the national team, across formats as a playing XI regular. Former Australian cricketer Shane Watson, who at one time was recognised as one of the best all-rounders in international cricket will now get to see Pant up close and personal at the Delhi Capitals IPL camp. Having joined the Delhi Capitals as their new assistant coach, under compatriot and former teammate Ricky Ponting (Head Coach), Watson is excited to work with Pant, who also happens to be the DC captain.

Watson has ample knowledge on MS Dhoni and Rishabh Pant, having played under Dhoni for the Chennai Super Kings and also observing Pant from close quarters. So, it is no surprise that Watson was eventually asked to compare the two wicketkeeper-batters. Apart from comparing, Watson also highlighted one similar trait in Dhoni and Pant.
Moeen Ali is likely to miss the opening match for Chennai Super Kings, who will play the IPL 2022 opener against Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday.

It has been learned that Moeen would need to arrive in Mumbai by Wednesday to stand a chance of playing his team's first match against 2021 runners-up Knight Riders, an ESPNcricinfo report said.
Hardik's form, fast bowlers' pool key focus areas, feels former India coachNEW DELHI: The IPL is around the corner and from India's perspective, skipper Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid will look to plug in the gaps before the T20 World Cup in Australia. Ex-India coach Ravi Shastri, who will be back in the commentary box during this season's IPL, is waiting to see the form of allrounder Hardik Pandya. Due to a lower-back injury, Pandya is yet to play any competitive match post last year's T20 World Cup in the UAE. He will captain the Gujarat Titans team. "The whole country will be very closely watching Hardik Pandya in the IPL. We all know what he is capable of," Shastri said on Tuesday during a press conference. "Rohit (Sharma) and Rahul (Dravid) would love to see how he performs. If he can bring all three aspects of his game to the fore, then it is going to be outstanding. It will be fantastic from India's point of view."
