Delhi Capitals (DC) will be hoping to end their losing streak in the Indian Super League (IPL) 2023 as they host 5-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians (MI). The Rohit Sharma led side too has had a disappointing start in IPL as they have lost both their opening games.
Therefore, this game becomes extra special and important for both the teams. A chance to win the game, get 2 points and get back to winning games. DC vs MI will be taking place at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi and is slated to kick-start from 7:30 PM (IST).
Some of the players have been in form and they can be roped in by you in your fantasy side as captains/vice-captains.
In this article, we take a look at 5 must-have fantasy choices as captain/vice-captain for today’s DC vs MI game:
1. David Warner (Delhi Capitals)
David Warner has scored the bulk of the runs for the Delhi Capitals team in IPL 2023. Even though he hasn’t hit he boundaries with as much ease as he normally does, he would be happy to be contributing to the team.
In 3 games, Warner has mustered 158 runs and has been in top-notch form. He should ideally be your captain/vice-captain in this side.
2. Axar Patel (Delhi Capitals)
The pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi favours spinners and having Axar Patel as your captain/vice-captain in this DC vs MI game could pay off rich dividends.
Axar can also contribute with the bat and will be a potent option in your fantasy playing XI.
3. Tilak Verma (Mumbai Indians)
The entire batting line-up of Mumbai Indians has been hinging on Tilak Verma in IPL 2023. After the top-order of the MI Paltans has been failing, Tilak Verma has been holding the fort from one end and has been guiding the team to solid scores.
In MI’s first game versus the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Verma scored 84* runs and shone like an absolute star.
4. Anrich Nortje (Delhi Capitals)
An out-an-out fast bowler, Anrich Nortje’s bowling prowess needs no introduction at all. The South African pacer has been bowling with a lot of precision and is a menacing figure. He has 2 wickets in 2 games but has impressed with his genuine pace.
A must-have player in your fantasy team and a good choice for a captain/vice-captain.
5. Ishan Kishan (Mumbai Indians)
In the previous game of Mumbai, we saw glimpses of Kishan’s good shots. He looked in fine form and scored a few quick runs before getting dismissed. The southpaw has so far scored 42 runs in 2 games and is just a big knock away from bouncing back to his destructive form.
