New Delhi, With what strategy will Delhi Capitals enter IPL 2023? The team which has been amazing continuously for the last 3 seasons, will it be able to win the title this time. That too at a time when he got the captain just before the start of the tournament. Some similar questions are roaming in the mind of every fan of Capitals. At this time the Capitals are facing a difficult situation. Team captain Rishabh Pant had become a victim of a road accident at the end of last year and he is not even fully fit yet. In such a situation, the command was given to David Warner at the last moment.
Pant understood the team very well, but it was the compulsion of the Capitals to change the captain at the last moment, and this compulsion of the Capitals may prove to be its biggest strength, albeit unwantedly. Due to this compulsion, the weakness of capitals has also gone away.

In fact, in 2021, the then captain of the team Shreyas Iyer did not play the first half due to injury and then Pant was officially made the captain. Capitals reached Qualifier 1 directly by being on top of the points table. Pant’s captaincy experience was less in the playoffs and due to this the Capitals lost both the qualifiers.
In 2023, the Capitals have got a captain who knows the art of winning. Sunrisers Hyderabad won the title in 2016 under Warner’s leadership. The Capitals have a strong core comprising of domestic and international stars. There are some players in the Capitals squad who are on the verge of making it to the Indian team.

Capital’s weakness
The Capitals were the second runner-up team in 2019 under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer. This was the best performance of Capitals. Under the leadership of Iyer, in its next season i.e. 2020, the Capitals reached the final, where Mumbai Indians defeated. The Capitals reached the title match for the first time in IPL history, but after that Iyer was affected by injury in the 2021 season and then in 2022 he moved to Kolkata Knight Riders.
Capitals suffered a lot due to Iyer’s departure. Last season, the management could not find any Indian batsman to pair with Pant in the middle overs. The management could not fill Iyer’s vacancy and now even Pant is injured. In such a situation, Sarfaraz Khan, Manish Pandey, Lalit Yadav can get a big chance. Before the IPL 2023 auction, Capitals traded Shardul Thakur from Knight Riders. The bowling balance of Capitals has deteriorated due to Thakur’s departure.
Delhi Capitals Full Squad: Rishabh Pant, David Warner, Prithvi Shaw, Ripple Patel, Rovman Powell, Anrich Norkhia, Chetan Sakaria, Kamlesh Nagerkoti, Sarfaraz Khan, Yash Dhull, Mitchell Marsh, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Khaleel Ahmed, Lungi Angidi, Aman Khan, Kuldeep Yadav , Praveen Dubey, Mustafizur Rahman, Vicky Ostwal, Ishant Sharma, Phil Salt, Mukesh Kumar, Manish Pandey, Riley Russo
