Check the strongest playing XI for DC in the 2023 IPL season.
Openers – David Warner and Prithvi Shaw
The Delhi Capitals (DC) will aim to have a successful opening to the competition. Their opening batters will be a crucial part of this effort.
In David Warner and Prithvi Shaw, DC may have found the ideal duo.
One of the IPL’s most destructive hitters, David Warner has been a regular in batting lineups.
He is the perfect opening partner for Prithvi Shaw because of his propensity to score quickly at the top of the order.
Middle order – Mitchell Marsh, Manish Pandey, Sarfaraz Khan (WK)
The Capitals have a history of having a good middle order, and that trend continues this year.
The Capitals’ middle order is now even more potent because to the additions of Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, Indian batsman Manish Pandey, and young Sarfaraz Khan.
Marsh was in excellent form during the recently finished ODI series against India.
He is a significant asset for the Capitals because of his ability in scoring and ability to give the team critical offensive gains.
Manish Pandey is a very dependable batter who never hesitates to challenge the opposition.
He can rapidly score goals and give the middle of the order stability. Sarfaraz Khan is a very talented young batsman who has already displayed some of his prowess in domestic this year.
He is expected to play a significant role for the Capitals this year.
Lower order – Rovman Powell, Axar Patel
In the bottom order, DC boasts some of the top players, and this year, Rovman Powell and Axar Patel are expected to take the initiative.
Powerful all-arounder Rovman Powell is renowned for his explosive batting in the lower order.
He is also a quality bowler who has the ability to take big wickets. Indian all-rounder Axar Patel is renowned for his ability to take wickets.
He has been in great shape in the past few seasons and will undoubtedly make a significant contribution to DC this season.
Bowlers – Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Khaleel Ahmed, Chetan Sakariya
For the past few years, DC has been among the most successful teams in the IPL 2023.
Their strong bowling lineup has been a major factor in their success, and it appears that this will continue in IPL 2023.
