Following physio Patrick Farhart’s Covid diagnosis, Mitchell Marsh was the first to test positive and had to be hospitalised. But since then, three more DC franchise members have tested positive besides three hotel staff. In such a situation they could not travel to play their match in Pune and the match had to be rescheduled to Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai.

However, if DC have all players available barring Marsh and Anrich Nortje, who is still not 100% fit, DC will be tempted to shuffle the squad after loss to RCB.
No change to bowling unit – Khaleel Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Shardul Thakur besides two spinners — Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel — have been excellent. All five are expected to retain their places.
Middle-order cause of concern – However, barring their openers, it is their middle-order that is cause for concern. Rishabh Pant hasn’t been consistent while Rovamann Powell is yet to fire. Mitchell Marsh had an off-day on his return from injury. Now that he is out, DC are expected to push Sarfaraz Khan up at No 4 to anchor the innings.
Delhi Capitals Full Squad: Retained: Rishabh Pant, Axar Patel, Prithvi Shaw, Anrich Nortje, Auction Picks: David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Shardul Thakur, Mustafizur Rahman, Kuldeep Yadav, Ashwin Hebbar, Abhishek Sharma, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, KS Bharat, Mandeep Singh, Khaleel Ahmed, Chetan Sakariya, Lalit Yadav, Ripal Patel, Yash Dhull, Rovman Powell, Pravin Dubey, Lungi Ngidi, Vicky Ostwal, Sarfaraz Khan
