IPL 2023: Delhi Capitals are set to begin their campaign against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on April 1. The Delhi franchise will miss their regular skipper Rishabh Pant after the star cricketer got injured in a horrific car accident in December 2022. The 2016 IPL-winning captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), David Warner will lead the Delhi team. Delhi Capitals have added the likes of Rillie Rossouw, Reece Topley, and Manish Pandey to their squad from the IPL 2023 mini-auction.

The batting lineup has the likes of Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Rovman Powell, and more who are certainly some players who can change the game by themselves. All-rounder Axar Patel has greatly improved his game since the IPL 2022 season, and he is expected to be a game-changer for the franchise.

"So when we are talking about losing some power in middle-order, Rovman Powell, Aman Khan, and someone like Axar Patel, whose batting has improved a lot in the last 12 months, we will find ways to cover for Rishabh, but we will not get same quality guy," Ponting said on missing Pant.
