IPL 2023 RCB vs DC: Prithvi Shaw benched, Phil Salt to open with David Warner

DC's probable playing 11 vs RCB.

Delhi Capitals will be facing Royal Challengers Bangalore in a blockbuster at RCB’s home ground on April 15.

DC, who is yet to win a match in this season, will look to open their account against RCB today. However, DC team management is quite worried about the form of their opener – Prithvi Shaw

Prithvi Shaw’s technical problems against top-quality pace attacks have come to the fore this season. The opener has failed to score big in any of the matches played so far. Hence, DC could bring in Phil Salt in the starting XI in place of Prithvi Shaw. The hard-hitting English batter is known for his attacking innings at the start and his explosive style might be exactly what DC needs to support Warner while he takes his time playing the anchor role. Rovman Powel is likely to make his way out to accommodate Phil Salt.

Here’s DC’s likely XI vs RCB:

Openers: David Warner (c), Phil Salt.
