#5 Rovman Powell
As Rilee Rossouw has struggled to do effectively with the bat, Delhi may try to bring in Rovman Powell as one of their new additions to strengthen the middle order. Powell, who took the bat for Delhi in the first match of the season, was dropped after scoring only one run in the second game. He was replaced by Abishek Porel in the second game, and Powell will aim to make an impact if he is given a spot in the starting Lineup.
#6 Abhishek Porel
Delhi has replaced injured Rishabh Pant with Bengal wicketkeeper batter Abishek Porel. He participated in the game between Delhi and Gujarat and managed to score 20 runs before Rashid Khan trapped him. The effectiveness of Porel in the middle order against Rajasthan could be crucial for Delhi as he can change the momentum.
#7 Axar Patel
Axar Patel has been one of the few reliable players for Delhi in the IPL 2023. Axar claimed a wicket in his team’s opening game of the season and also scored 16 runs, while in the second game, he quickly scored 36 runs to help Delhi reach a total of 162 runs. He will be a key person on Delhi’s team in their future games.
