RCB vs DC LIVE: Back against the WALL, David Warner & Co MUST make 3 changes for win against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Follow IPL 2023 LIVE
- Promoting Axar Patel in batting order
Axar’s form with the ball has not been good in the tournament but the left-handed batter has played some crucial knocks for the Capitals. Given Axar’s form with the bat and good batting conditions in Bangalore, he might be the game changer for DC. Apart from his batting, Axar might come handy against Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis with the new ball and try to scalp the prized pair cheaply.
- Rovman Powell to bat at Number 4 slot
The West Indies all-rounder has not shown any form with the bat so far. However, Powell has come to bat most of the times when Delhi were already in a state of bother. Powell can be sent at the number 4 slot to maximize his full protentional. Given the good batting track at M.Chinnaswamy, Powell can be a big threat to RCB.

- Inclusion of Kamlesh Nagarkoti in place of Mukesh Kumar
Pacer Mukesh Kumar has proven costly with the ball in this tournament so far. In his last game, the pacer gave away 30 runs in 2 overs. He took two wickets but was proven as a deciding factor in the last game. DC might want to include express pacer Kamlesh Nagarkoti to have some extra zip in the bowling line-up.
