IPL 2021: Ideal Playing XI for Delhi Capitals (DC)

Delhi Capitals (DC) enjoyed a fruitful outing in the last year’s edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) held in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The side led by Shreyas Iyer reached the final of the competition but lost to Mumbai Indians (MI) by five wickets.

Even after losing the final battle, DC earned a lot of positives from the season. Rishabh Pant found his lost form, and the likes of Ravichandran Ashwin, Marcus Stoinis, Kagiso Rabada, Shikhar Dhawan and Anrich Nortje all shined in their respective roles.

Ahead of the IPL 2021, DC received a set-back after their regular skipper Iyer got ruled out from the lucrative league after injuring his shoulder in the recently concluded ODI series against England. In the absence of Iyer, Pant ha🎶s been handed over the responsibility to lead the side.

Let’ܫs🥀 have a look at Delhi Capitals’ ideal playing XI in IPL 2021:

Openers: Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan

Like the previous season, there won’t be any change in the opening pair of DC. Prithvi Shaw will again open the innings alongside Shikhar Dhawan. Shaw did not have a good season with the bat in IPL 2020 as he managed to score only 228 runs from 13 games. However, his recent domestic circuit performance will undoubtedly give him the confidence to ente𓃲r the field in IPL 2021.
