Sunrisers Hyderabad captain David Warner and Kane Williamson landed in Chennai on Friday ahead of the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League.
Billings, who was part of the Delhi franchise in 2016 and 2017, was bought by the Capitals for his base price of Rs 2 crore in the IPL auction in February.
The former South African captain included RCB's Virat Kohli and MI skipper Rohit Sharma in the XI, but chose Chennai Super Kings' MS Dhoni to lead his side.
Five top South African players including de Kock, Rabada, Ngidi, Miller and Nortje will be available only for the first two ODIs against Pakistan.
Kuldeep, a Chinaman bowler, played only one international in Australia, an ODI, and then played one Test and two ODIs during England's tour of India.
RCB's star batsman AB de Villiers also feels that the side can carry on the winning momentum from last year's tournament.
The 26-year-old batsman made 352 runs in 14 matches during the Indian Premier League 2020 season in the UAE.
While Dhawan will be in quarantine, the other DC players such as Ishant Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Umesh Yadav and leg-spinner Amit Mishra have been training at the Cricket Club of India (CCI) since March 30.
The two-time champions will kick-start their IPL 2021 campaign against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Chennai on April 11.
IPL 2021 is set to begin from April 9, and MS Dhoni-led CSK will play their first game an evening later against Delhi Capitals.
