4. Delhi Capitals (DC) – Prithvi Shaw and David Warner
Rating: 7.5/10
Delhi Capitals have been performing superiorly since 2019, and the anchor of their performance has been their batters, especially their opening pairs, previously including Prithvi Shaw and Dhawan and now forming the pair with the pocket bomb Warner and Shaw. The Aussie opener is the most successful overseas player who has set India as his second home, as he has ruled the shorter format as a powerful and versatile opener often known for scoring runs quickly and efficiently at the top of the order.
Shaw on the other hand is an equally destructive partner at the other hand who is versatile at the top of the order and has been consistent over the years. But this time Warner’s limited-overs form is highly debatable and Shaw has been in exile from International cricket. However, they are expected to have a decent performance together in IPL 2023.
