In the absence of their regular captain Rishabh Pant, Delhi Capitals (DC) aren’t doing well in the<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" title=" Indian Premier League (IPL) " target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Indian Premier League (IPL) </a>2023. Under the leadership of David Warner, Capitals have lost all their three games so far, failing to put up any fight against their rivals. The Delhi batters have perpetually failed to score big, leading to unfavourable outcomes in their fixtures played so far.

The story is more or less the same with their bowlers as well, as they seemed to be lacking discipline, failing to rack up wickets for the team.

In the upcoming games, DC will strive to be impactful to advance to the Playoff round and they will look to start their journey by routing the underconfident Mumbai Indians (MI) at their home ground, Arun Jaitley Stadium. However, to do that, they will have to make some stiff changes in their playing XI.

Here are three changes DC will look to do for their contest against MI:

3. Kamlesh Nagarkoti in for Khaleel Ahmed

Khaleel Ahmed has failed to provide decent starts to Capitals in the last two games. In the first match, he took two wickets and gave 30 runs in his four-over spell. However, his performance wasn't up to the mark against Gujarat Titans (GT) and Rajasthan Royals (RR).&nbsp;

While defending 162 against Gujarat Titans, he took <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/hardik-pandya-ipl-career-records-stats/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hardik Pandya’s</a> scalp but splurged runs at an expensive economy of 9.50. Against RR, the pacer’s struggle got worse as he became the most expensive bowler of the match, giving away 31 runs in two overs at an economy of 15.50. He also struggled to pick a wicket in the game.

With three back-to-back losses in a row, DC are desperately looking for positive results and they will look to make some changes for the next game against MI. Instead of including Ahmed in the playing XI, the team management could bank on Nagarkoti, who exuded confidence in the last major T20 tournament, the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2022-23. In the competition, he hunted seven batters in seven games at an economy of 7.33.

In the absence of Rishabh Pant, Abhishek Porel became a part of DC’s 2023 campaign. For the youngster, this could have been a perfect opportunity but till now, he hasn’t managed to grab the chance with both hands. So far, the wicketkeeper batter has accumulated only 27 runs in two matches at a poor average of 13.50.

In his debut match against GT, the 20-year-old played some excellent shots but got dismissed on 20 runs (11 deliveries) by Rashid Khan. His brief knock however failed to find gain the required momentum, as the 20-year-old couldn’t turn up against RR bowlers while chasing 200.

Against RR, the 2022<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-purple-cap/" title=" IPL Purple Cap " target="_blank" rel="noopener"> IPL Purple Cap</a> winner Yuzvendra Chahal sent him back to the pavilion on seven. With the availability of England wicketkeeper batter Phil Salt and Sarfaraz Khan in the squad, Capitals could exclude Porel from their playing XI against Rohit Sharma-led MI.

So far in the tournament, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-analysis/ipl-2023-match-16-delhi-capitals-dc-predicted-playing-xi-vs-mumbai-indians/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DC</a> have time and again trusted South Africa batter Rilee Rossouw to bolster them with his explosive batting style. However, the 33-year-old has perpetually failed to play his role efficiently, amassing only 44 runs in three matches. Playing the first game of the season against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), he looked well but failed to take the momentum ahead and eventually ended his innings after scoring 30 off 20 deliveries.

In the contest against defending champions Gujarat Titans, he gave his wicket cheaply to Alazarri Joseph without scoring any run. His poor run with the bat continued against RR as well. With the fall of Prithvi Shaw and Manish Pandey in the first over, his presence on the crease was essential for the team to pull off a massive target of 200. However, the Protea couldn’t handle the pressure and got dismissed on 14 off 12.

After getting miser numbers from him in the last two games, skipper Warner and the team management might find Phil Salt as the best option for DC in the next game. The 26-year-old has played some fabulous match-winning knocks for his national side England in T20 internationals. Going by this fact, the team management might not hesitate to include him in their playing XI for the upcoming clash.
