IPL 2023 is set to begin on 31st March 2023, and the Delhi Capitals are going to miss the services of Rishabh Pant, the captain of the franchise, for the entire tournament. Pant was injured in a car crash last year, from which he will still take about 6-7 months to recover. Now, Delhi Capitals lack a middle order batter who can take the game head on with his attacking batting style. Who will be the captain of Delhi Capitals and who is going to replace him in the IPL 2023 squad of DC are two of the most talked about questions.
David Warner to Delhi Capitals?
David Warner has announced at the start of this year that he is going to retire from the international cricket and soon become a member of the commentary panels all around the world. He recently injured his elbow in the ongoing Test series between India and Australia. Warner has captained SRH in IPL and has also guided them to a trophy. He will be available for the IPL 2023, and Delhi Capitals can certainly bank on him to captain the team. Warner is the most likely player who can be announced as captain of Delhi Capitals in 2023, replacing Rishabh Pant.
