One of India's finest pacers in recent history, Ishant Sharma is set to play his 100th IPL game on his home ground in Delhi against PBKS.
In a season where not much have gone right for DC, Ishant has been mighty impressive and has spearheaded the pace unit. He has picked up six wickets in as many innings and even won his side a crucial game against Gujarat Titans (GT) away from home.
Overall, Ishant has bagged 78 wickets in 99 IPL appearances at an economy rate of 8.08.
#2 Arshdeep Singh could become PBKS' fourth-highest wicket-taker of all time

One of India's rising stars, Arshdeep Singh could well write himself into the history books tonight. If the left-arm pacer bags three scalps against DC, he will become Punjab Kings' fourth-highest wicket-taker of all time.
Arshdeep has bagged 56 scalps at an average of 25.9 across 48 innings and is the seventh-highest wicket-taker in the franchise's history. Just ahead of him is Mohammed Shami, who took 58 wickets during his stint with PBKS.
#1 Shikhar Dhawan could become the first-ever player to hit 750 fours in IPL

Inarguably one of the legends of the IPL, Shikhar Dhawan has more often than not gone under the radar despite racking up a mountain of runs in his career.
Across 213 innings, Dhawan has mustered 6,593 runs, with the help of 748 fours and 146 sixes. Another two fours would see him complete 750 fours, thus making him the first-ever player to achieve the landmark in IPL history.
Moreover, the local lad has amassed 719 runs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium across 21 IPL innings. If he goes on to score 51 runs tonight, Dhawan will surpass Rishabh Pant's tally of 769 runs to become the third-highest run-getter at the venue in the IPL.
