Earlier, the India all-rounder said that he is feeling confident and positive about his game after having returned from a knee injury that kept him out of action for more than 4 months. Jadeja missed the T20 World Cup and the start of the home season for India in 2022-23 but he stormed back to action in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023. He is also expected to show a good performance in the upcoming IPL edition. Jadeja is expected to take the all-rounder’s responsibility alongside England’s Test skipper Ben Stokes.

Australian opener David Warner also joined the DC camp on Thursday. To Note, Warner will be leading Delhi Capitals in the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in absence of an injured Rishabh Pant. This will be the second time Warner leads the Capitals.
In his previous stint with the franchise from 2009 and 2013, he led the side in a couple of matches. The opener was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2014 and in 2016, he led the side to their maiden title. Apart from Warner, Australia’s ace all-rounder Mitchell Marsh has also joined the Capitals franchise.
Meanwhile, India’s senior batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have not yet joined their respective camps. While Rohit will be leading the five-time champions Mumbai Indians, Kohli will have to fire with the bat if RCB have any chances of grabbing the prized trophy for the first time.
