Rishabh Pant IN, no Anrich Nortje and Jhye Richardson, DC predicted playing XI vs PBKS in IPL 2024

David Warner will open the innings once again like he did last season in IPL 2023.

Prithvi Shaw will open the innings with Warner and will be keen on providing DC with a good start

Mitchell Marsh will bat at three and also bowl a few overs. His role will be immensely important for the Capitals this season.

Rishabh Pant is making his comeback to competitive cricket after surviving from life-threatening accident. He is back to leading the team this time around

Tristan Stubbs is set to feature for Delhi Capitals this season and he is likely to bat at five. If needed, he will also keep wickets and more importantly, will play a role of finisher.

Kumar Kushagra was picked by DC for a massive amount and he might play their season opener making his IPL debut. Kushagra is also a wicketkeeper.

Axar Patel's all-round ability has to come to the fore for Delhi Capitals in the last two seasons. This time too he will bat at seven and his four overs will be crucial for DC.

Kuldeep Yadav will bat at eight but his major role will be to pick wickets in the middle overs. The man is extremely confident of his bowling now and can turn the game on its head.

Ishan Sharma is a veteran cricketer and in the absence of Anrich Nortje and Jhye Richardson, he will have to strike with the new ball.

Mukesh Kumar's death overs bowling will play a massive role for DC this season. He has handled the experience of playing for India and expect an improved show from him.

Khaleel Ahmed will complete the pace bowling trio of Delhi Capitals and most probably will take the new ball with Ishant

Lalit Yadav but his services might be used with either bat or ball as an impact player and can make the difference in that aspect.
