DC Playing XI vs SRH: DC vs SRH LIVE – Young Priyam Garg is set to make his debut for DC against his former team Sunrisers Hyderabad tonight. Out of form, Prithvi Shaw continues to sit out as Phil Salt has been handed another opportunity. Meanwhile, Aman Khan has been dropped from the Playing XI. Notably, after five losses on the trot, Delhi Capitals have managed to win two in a row, including their last fixture against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Follow IPL 2023 LIVE Updates on InsideSport.IN.
With scores of 12, 7, 0, 15, 0, and 13, Shaw has failed to make any mark. In fact, he has gone 13 games without scoring a fifty. Hence, DC finally decided to drop him for the SRH clash.
That said, Ponting has shut the door on Prithvi for now unless Salt also disappoints big time. For the moment, Salt is DC’s keeper-batter with Abhishek Porel also failing to fire.
While DC’s batting woes still a concern, captain David Warner and coach Ponting had a 25-minute chat with DC’s batting group ahead of their clash against SRH. There is no guarantee that it will yield results but it gives a lifeline to Sarfaraz Khan as an Impact Sub. The Mumbaikar has failed to replicate his domestic show, scoring just 4, 30, and 10 so far.
DC Playing XI vs SRH: What to expect from DC vs SRH?
- Despite scoring a golden duck on IPL debut, Phil Salt will retain his opening slot for the next two games.
- Mitchell Marsh has been in poor form, scoring 0, 4, 0, 2 and 25.
- However, as he has been bowling some good spells sporadically, he will retain his place.
- The other option was to go with Rilee Rossouw but he too has failed to fire.
- Sarfaraz Khan who came on as an Impact sub and scored 10 off 9.
- With Priyam Garg another top-order batter, DC could hand him a debut after a great run of form in domestic cricket.
- Garg joined as a replacement player for Kamlesh Nagarkoti last week.
- Ripal Patel and Aman Khan also did not make any impact.
- If Lalit Yadav is fully fit, he is likely to replace either of the two.

In the bowling department though, DC don’t need to change anything as it was their bowling that helped them beat SRH. Mukesh Kumar will continue as an Impact sub after delivering two important wickets in the three overs he bowled. Ishant Sharma has been excellent so far and will continue alongside Anrich Nortje. In the spin department, both Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel are sure-shot starters.
DC Playing XI: David Warner(c), Philip Salt(w), Mitchell Marsh, Manish Pandey, Priyam Garg, Axar Patel, Ripal Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Ishant Sharma, Mukesh Kumar
Delhi Capitals subs: Lalit Yadav, Praveen Dubey, Chetan Sakariya, Yash Dhull
