IPL 2023: Delhi Capitals team managed to defeat KKR by 4 wickets in the late night match on Thursday. Despite this victory, the failure of the top order has become a problem for Delhi Capitals. The biggest problem for Delhi Capitals is the poor form of opener Prithvi Shaw. Prithvi Shaw has proved to be a flop badly in all the 6 matches played this season.
Prithvi Shaw has scored only 47 runs in the 6 matches played so far at an average of 7.83 and a strike rate of 117.50. In the match played against KKR, Prithvi Shaw stayed at the crease for some time. But after scoring 13 runs in 11 balls, he returned to the pavilion.
In the absence of Rishabh Pant, Delhi Capitals had high hopes from Prithvi Shaw. But Shaw is not able to live up to the expectations of the team. It was also considered to make Shaw the captain in place of Pant. However, now the situation has become such that Shaw is hardly seen playing in the remaining matches of this season.
Sarfaraz may get a chance
Delhi Capitals have managed to get their first win after five consecutive defeats. To stay in the playoff race, Delhi Capitals need to win the remaining matches. That’s why Delhi Capitals will have to make changes in their playing 11. It is possible that in the remaining matches, Delhi Capitals will give Sarfaraz a chance to open with Warner in place of Prithvi Shaw.
Apart from Prithvi Shaw, the poor form of Mitchell Marsh is also increasing the problems of Delhi Capitals. Marsh has not been able to cross the double figure even once. Marsh is also finding it very difficult to stay in the team now.
