Lucknow beat Delhi when the two teams met earlier in the season. This match thus is redemption for Delhi Capitals and also a changer to get to 10 points and stay alive in IPL 2022.

David Warner

Warned scored a good 42 against KKR before he was eventually dismissed by Umesh Yadav. The southpaw has scored over 250 runs from just six games and has formed a terrific opening p[artnership with Shaw at the top of the order.

Mitchell Marsh

Marsh was slotted in at number three by the DC management. He scored 13 off 7 balls before he was eventually dismissed. The all-rounder made a comeback to the playing Xi after recovering from Covid and the management should give a longer rope in the remaining season.

Rishabh Pant

The Delhi Capitals skipper should bat at his usual number four position to play to his best for his side. He came in at number five and was quickly dismissed in the last game. The management is ideally hoping for him to score some runs for his side.

Lalit Yadav

Yadav played a good cameo batting at number four for DC. He should bat a place below Pant in the line-up. Besides his batting potential, his off-spin bowling has helped Rishabh Pant control the middle-overs as well.

Rovman Powell

After misfiring in the first few games, Powell has scored good runs for Delhi Capitals. He almost took them to a victory against Rajasthan Royals and he did the same against KKR. Powell has been enjoying his journey with KKR so far.

Axar Patel

Axar Patel played a handy cameo against KKR and took the wicket of Venkatesh Iyer. Axar and Shardul Thakur have been key to Delhi’s middle-overs success in the IPL season so far.

Shardul Thakur

Shardul Thakur will slot in at number eight in the playing XI. He was bought at a hefty price and so far has been used ad a utility cricketer by the management. Against KKR, he played an unbeaten knock and took his side home.

Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav is second in the Purple Cap list with 18 wickets to his name. He has taken four wickets in both the games against KKR and has been equally effective against other teams.

Mustafizur Rahman

Rahman has been given a longer rope by the management in the absence of Anrich Nortje. So far in the season he has played a good role with the ball and has contributed to his team’s success. He took three wickets against KKR.

Chetan Sakariya

Sakariya had a memorable debut for Delhi Capitals as he took 1 for 17 in his spell. He completes the strongest looking playing XI for Delhi Capitals for their upcoming clash against LSG.
