As the business end of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 is approaching, all the matches become extremely high-voltage and full of action. The stakes for this Punjab Kings (PBKS) vs Delhi Capitals (DC) are quite high as the qualification scenarios are quite prominent.
Punjab need to win both their remaining league stage matches by a big margin in order to have a realistic chance of qualifying to the playoffs. They can at max reach 16 points and for that they need to treat every single game as a do-or-die encounter.
Delhi Capitals have already been eliminated from IPL 2023 but they can act as party-poopers. They can spoil the qualification scenarios of several teams and they can also end on a high.
In this article, we take a look at 3 vice-captain choices for the PBKS vs DC game which will be taking place in Dharamshala:
1. Shikhar Dhawan (Punjab Kings)
One of the most dedicated individuals and consistent performers in the IPL, Shikhar Dhawan is going to be an important cog in the wheels of PBKS in this IPL 2023 game. He has so far amassed 356 runs in IPL 2023 and has a stellar average of 50.86.
He can get you a lot of points for your fantasy team and can act as the decisive factor in terms of points. Shikhar Dhawan opens the batting for Punjab and therefore he will be playing the maximum number of deliveries.
2. Arshdeep Singh (Punjab Kings)
One of India’s finest left-arm seamers, Arshdeep Singh executes the yorkers really well. He is one of the best bowlers of Punjab Kings and has so far taken 16 wickets in this edition of the IPL.
Be it in the powerplay or at the death, Arshdeep Singh bowls the tight line and lengths and makes it extremely difficult for the opposition batters to play his deliveries. He can be a good vice-captain choice for this PBKS vs DC game.
3. David Warner (Delhi Capitals)
Another name of David Warner is consistency! The swashbuckling Australian batter scores runs consistently and is the backbone of the batting department of Delhi Capitals. He is the leading run-getter of DC in IPL 2023 and has so far scored 384 runs at a strike-rate of 126.73.
Warner can power Delhi to some impactful starts in the powerplay and he will be a key player to watch out for in this PBKS vs DC game at Dharamshala.
