Delhi Capitals Key Players
David Warner was their highest run scorer the last season. He scored 432 runs in 12 matches with an average of 48 and a strike rate of 150. He is an excellent opener who can give a cracking start.
The skipper Rishabh Pant scored 340 runs last year. They also have good batting options in Prithvi Shaw and Mitchell Marsh. Delhi Capitals did not leave an option for selecting team predictions.
On the other hand, they have a worthy spin bowler in Kuldeep Yadav. He took 21 wickets last year and was the highest wicket-taker for DC in the 2022 season. Khaleel Ahmad is also a key bowler who took 16 wickets last year. More bowlers to keep in mind are Shardul Thakur and Mustafizur Rehman.
Delhi Capitals 2023 Team Prediction
Delhi Capitals makes wise decisions in retaining many vital players. The team retains the players who will be in the playing eleven. They have retained five overseas players and can take up to three more. They had three overseas fast bowlers in the squad so they might go with a spin-bowling all-rounder or batter. Afghanistan ace player Muhammad Nabi is available.
Zimbabwean all-rounder Sikandar Raza is a great option if the team goes for spin bowling and middle-order batsman. The middle-order batsman Van Der Dussen and Daryl Mitchell are also available in the auction. The team will also take one or two emerging players from India. Indian star batter Ajinkya Rahane is also an excellent option to add experience to the team. This was all from our Delhi Capitals Team Predictions for the 2023 season.
