IPL 2023: 3 Players Who Will Be Crucial for Delhi Capitals to Win DC vs CSK Match No. 67

IPL 2023: Delhi Capitals became the first team to disqualify for the playoffs in the ongoing season of the IPL. They started the tournament with five consecutive losses, but now they have become the most dangerous team in the tournament. This is because DC can spoil the party for the other teams, which are looking to qualify for the playoffs.

Like they did in the last game against the Punjab Kings. DC beat PBKS by 15 runs and pushed them to the verge of elimination. That’s what they will look to do in their last group match. Delhi will lock horns with Chennai Super Kings on Saturday at Arun Jaitley Stadium. For CSK, it is a must-win clash, and Delhi can play spoilsports and restrict them to qualify for the next round. Here, we will talk about three Delhi players in DC vs CSK Match No. 67.

IPL 2023: 3 Key Players for Delhi Capitals in DC vs CSK Match No. 67

3. Prithvi Shaw

After failure in the first few games, DC dropped Prithvi Shaw midway through the season. Then the 23-year-old got a chance to make his comeback in the last game against Punjab Kings. And how well he grabbed the opportunity. Shaw smashed his 13th IPL fifty and gave his team a flying start. He scored 54 off 38, with seven fours and one six.

His inning set the stage for a late flourish from the middle order. That inning must have given some confidence to the batter. He will look to end the season on a better note with another match-turning inning under his belt. Shaw can be a tricky player if he gets set and can take on spinners and pacers easily. CSK will need to remove him to give DC a big blow at the top.

2. Rilee Rossouw

Who can forget the blistering knock played by South African star Rilee Rossouw in the previous game against PBKS? It was a thunderous half-century by him that took the score well over the 200-run mark. It was DC’s first 200-plus total this season, which was largely due to Rossouw’s inning. The southpaw registered his maiden IPL half-century off 22 balls.

He smashed an unbeaten 82 off 37, with six fours and six sixes, which changed the course of the game. His inning made the difference between a win and a loss. With his knock, he will feel much more comfortable and will want to play another game-changing inning against CSK. He is a free-flowing batter who deals in boundaries. Thus, Chennai can come under pressure if he starts hitting some of those.

1. David Warner

Despite getting eliminated from the competition, David Warner and his team can enjoy their performance on the field. That’s what they did in the last game. Adding to that, Warner’s approach has totally changed now, and he is taking on the bowlers at the start. The DC skipper is under no pressure now, and he is playing his natural game.

He has scored 430 runs this season at an average of 33.08 and a strike rate of 128.74, with five half-centuries. He will be the biggest threat for CSK between them and a place in the playoffs on Saturday. Because Warner, at his best, can win games single-handedly. His record against CSK is also brilliant, and MS Dhoni knows how difficult it can be to bowl against Warner.
