The IPL 2023 will kick off from March 31 onwards with a match between defending champions Gujarat Titans and four-time champions Chennai Super Kings.
Delhi Capitals will kickstart their IPL campaign against Lucknow Super Giants from April 1 onwards.
DC will play their first home game against Gujarat Titans on April 4 at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.
In the previous season, Delhi Capitals had finished in the fifth position in the points table with seven wins and equal number of losses with a total of 14 points. They narrowly missed out on a playoff spot.
