IPL 2023: 3 Players Who Can Replace Rishabh Pant In Delhi Capitals’ Playing XI For The Season

Sarfraz Khan

Delhi Capitals bought Mukesh Kumar, Rilee Rossouw, Phil Salt, Ishant Sharma, and Manish Pandey in the recently concluded IPL 2023 Auction. Delhi Capitals have Sarfaraz Khan, who has done some wicket-keeping in domestic cricket, but only on a part-time basis, and he is also not a certain starter in Delhi’s XI.

Sarfaraz Khan though is the best bet to replace Rishabh Pant in Delhi Capitals’ playing XI as it will allow the team to add an additional batter or bowler in IPL 2023. In IPL 2022, his only season for Delhi Capitals, Sarfaraz Khan scored 91 runs averaging 30.33 in 6 matches, 5 innings.

Phil Salt

Phil Salt is another keeping alternative in the Delhi Capitals squad, but Phil Salt to isn’t a regular wicketkeeper, even for his domestic and Hundred teams, and bringing in Phil Salt in the middle-order would disrupt DC’s overseas combination. Phil Salt can replace Rishabh Pant in Delhi Capitals playing XI in IPL 2023.

Phil Salt, the 26 years old keeper was bought for his base price of INR 2 crore by the Delhi franchise. He has played 11 ODIs and 13 T20Is for England but is yet to play a Test or in IPL. In T20I, his strike rate is 161.18 while in T20s his strike rate is 150.39. He also has an ODI ton.

Yash Dhull

Yash Dhull can replace Rishabh Pant in the Delhi Capitals’ playing XI if Phil Salt keeps wickets. Yash Dhull captained the India U-19 team to a World Cup win earlier this year. Since Rishabh Pant will miss IPL 2023 – one season only, Yash Dhull may be assigned to lead the franchise Delhi Capitals although it’s not a very viable option since he stayed on the bench in IPL 2022.

India’s U-19 World Cup-winning captain Yash Dhull bagged his first IPL contract with the Delhi Capitals who bought him for INR 50 lakh in the IPL 2022 mega auction. Yash Dhull made a mark in the 2022 U-19 World Cup, showing his tremendous potential with the bat. He scored a match-winning hundred in the semifinal of the tournament and also led the way from the front.
