Delhi Capitals are set to begin their Indian Premier League 2023 campaign with a clash against KL Rahul’s Lucknow Super Giants on April 1 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium. DC will be missing their captain Rishabh Pant who got ruled out of the IPL 2023 due to a horrific car accident in December 2022. Coach Ricky Ponting has already agreed that Pant is irreplaceable both as a skipper and number 4 batter in their lineup.
The absence of Rishabh Pant makes way for players like David Warner, Prithvi Shaw and Rovman Powell to shine and steal the limelight. Even Australia batter Mitchell Marsh is a threat to the opposition’s bowling attack.
