5. Delhi Capitals (DC) – Manish Pandey, Yash Dhull, Rilee Rossouw, Rovman Powell and Phill Salt
Rating: 7.5/10
The Delhi Capitals are often said to be the most dominant team on both team sheets and the field. The Capitals are often applauded for their fierce opening stands, but they can play in a carefree manner due to their reliable middle-order setup that is yet to come.
In the absence of skipper Pant, Warner will lead the Capitals, and their middle order will be freshly constructed with young and prolific Yash Dhull, experienced Manish Pandey, informed Sarfaraz, and severely talented overseas spearheads Rilee Rossouw, Rovman Powell, and the only optional wk in their squad, Phil Salt. All of them combined form a formidable middle-order batting setup for DC in IPL 2023.
