In the 11th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, the Delhi Capitals, under newly appointed skipper David Warner, and the Rajasthan Royals will lock horns in a ferocious contest. Delhi would like to record their first victory of the season as they have lost both of their games till now.
Delhi suffered a significant setback in their last home game against the defending champion Gujarat Titans. The absence of their star players like Rishabh Pant is having an impact on them. However, the team will hope for a different outcome, and it will be interesting to see what lineup they put out as they face Rajasthan Royals. Meanwhile, in today’s article, we will discuss their best possible playing XI.

#1 David Warner
Delhi’s skipper, David Warner played a decent inning of 37 runs during their most recent match against Gujarat Titans. The senior Australian batter is the highest run scorer for the Capitals as he gives the struggling Delhi team a strong start. Warner’s performance could be a significant issue for Rajasthan Royals if he can execute at the very top of his game. However, his batting strike rate could be an issue for DC.
#2 Prithvi Shaw
In the ongoing tournament, star Mumbai batter Prithvi Shaw has struggled to perform as he has scored only 19 runs in the two games. Delhi needs Shaw to step up and do better if they want to win their first game of the year. The Indian batter will be eager to regain his excellent form.
#3 Rillie Rossouw
South Africa star Rillie Rossouw is likely to play for Delhi Capitals in the upcoming games as their star player Mitchell Marsh is not available. The already struggling Delhi will expect Rossouw to fire. If it happens, Delhi will surely win the game as he has a decent record against Rajasthan Bowlers.
#4 Sarfaraz Khan
Another Mumbai-based wicketkeeper batter Sarfaraz Khan has been one of the key players in Delhi’s lineup this year. Sarfaraz has got a chance in place of Rishabh Pant and he is yet to fire like him. In Delhi’s previous game, Sarfaraz played a decent knock and scored 30 runs. He will like to make it even better when playing the Rajasthan Royals. However, Rajasthan will look to expose his inability to play fast bowlers.
