Analysis:

Ahead of the 2023 season, the Delhi Capitals saw their captain Rishabh Pant being ruled out after suffering a massive car accident. But despite, Pant’s absence, Delhi has one of the complete squads in the tournament. With a disappointing result last year, Capitals under Warner will want to make a playoff push.
