DC’s missing members
Delhi Capitals is led by David Warner in the absence of their regular captain Rishabh Pant who is still in recovery after his car crash accident. Pant’s absence has made the middle order less bankable and more vulnerable but Pant is not the only player DC is missing.
South African bowlers Anrich Nortje and Lungi Ngidi are set to the 1st match for their team as they are scheduled to play an ODI series against the Netherlands which ends on 2nd April. DC will also be missing tricky left-handed Bangladeshi bowler Mustafizur Rahman who is also committed to playing till the 8th of April against Ireland.
