IPL 2023: Strongest starting XI of Delhi Capitals (DC) for the season
Delhi Capitals had failed to qualify for playoffs last season.
All-Rounders: Rovman Powell, Axar Patel
Rovman Powell is currently one of the most prominent hitters in world cricket. He has incredible hitting ability, which makes him a threat for any team. Last season, he smashed 250 runs in 14 games, averaging 25 and striking out at a rate of 149.70. With more experience under his belt, he will be expected to deliver a better campaign.
In the bowling department, Powell bowled only one over, in which he leaked 17 runs. Hence, he needs to step up and contribute more with the bat. On the other side, Axar Patel is another quality all-rounder that the franchise possess. He has done exceptionally well for the national team in recent months.
Patel’s improvement as a cricketer is visibly clear and hence, there will be a lot more expectations from him. In IPL 2022, he scored 182 runs in 13 innings at an average of 45.50 and a strike-rate of 151.67. However, he managed to pick up only six wickets in the process, which definitely needs to get better.
