Prithvi Shaw was diagnosed with typhoid and had to be hospitalised with a high fever. While he was back at Delhi Capitals camp, he was still in recovery phase. The team doctors took a last-minute call and made himself available for the match.
That means, he will be back opening with David Warner while Sarfaraz Khan may have to sit out.

While Delhi Capitals have been bogged down by injuries and two Covid outbreaks, they have a set line-up in batting for now. Warner will continue to open while Mitchell Marsh hitting top form at the right time has come up as a blessing.
Rishabh Pant’s hot and cold form has been a concern but being the captain of the team, he will have his place in Top 5. The 4th spot has been up for grabs for a while and DC are expected to continue

Lalit Yadav’s fotrm has also been a concern but he is expected to retain the spot for his off-spin bowling. With slower surfaces holding the ball, he could play a crucial role in containing Mumbai Indians batters.
In the bowling department, Anrich Nortje is returning to rhythm. Khaleel Ahmed has been in good form. Shardul Thakur finally returned to form and will against play a crucial role. Two frontline spinners Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav will be the two important players. Kuldeep has his ups and downs while Axar has already established himself as a handy all-rounder.
Delhi Capitals Full Squad: Rishabh Pant (c & wk), David Warner, Sarfaraz Khan, Mitchell Marsh, Lalit Yadav, Rovman Powell, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Khaleel Ahmed, Mandeep Singh, Srikar Bharat, Tim Seifert, Lungi Ngidi, Mustafizur Rahman, Ashwin Hebbar, Praveen Dubey, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Chetan Sakariya, Ripal Patel, Yash Dhull, Vicky Ostwal
