DC IPL 2023: Delhi Capitals Strength
Delhi Capitals has always been one of the best batting sides in the IPL and had one of the best openers. This time they have David Warner and Prithvi Shaw as the openers. They could give Phil Salt a chance if any of them fail to deliver this season.
Rilee Rossouw’s form is one of the big boosts for the Delhi Capitals’ batting lineup, as he is in brilliant form and showed it in the Pakistan Premier League (PSL) 2023. He scored 388 runs in just 9 matches in which he also has one century.
Delhi has been one of the most balanced sides in the IPL, where they tick all the right marks to be the perfect team. It is just they are not able to deliver their league-stage performance in the playoff. They even gave improved their bowling unit by bringing in Mukesh Kumar and retaining Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav.
They have Manish Pandey and Sarfaraz Khan in the middle, going very strong in the domestic circuit and proving their worth, but their consistency is the concern in the IPL. The pitch is going to favor their spinner, Axar and Kuldeep.

Captaincy is one of the biggest concerns after Rishabh Pant met with an accident and got out from the 2023 season of the IPL.
David Warner’s form is one of the biggest concerns for the side, as he is also being given the role of captain. It will be a nervous time for the Aussies to tackle, but he is a fighter and, this time, also might able to tackle the huddle in front of him.
Playoff Havoc
Delhi Capital (DC) have qualified 6 times for the playoff and once able to reach the final, where they lost, which is one of their biggest concerns. Last year they finished in the 5th spot and were not able to go into playoffs. They failed to reach the final 5 times and never won the league.
Middle Order instability
Inconsistent performance from their middle-order batsmen has been one of the concerns for the Delhi Capital team and that’s why they picked Manish Pandey to fill the role of the middle-order batsman.
