DC Predicted XI vs PBKS, IPL 2022: The Delhi Capitals are looking for consistency in the face of the Covid cloud

All-rounder Mitchell Marsh is the latest player to test positive for a banned substance. There are no more positive cases in the squad for the final round of tests on April 20. DC will have the rest of their squad to choose from when they face Punjab Kings on Wednesday.

DC have been inconsistent of late, losing by six wickets to Lucknow Super Giants before thrashing KKR by 44 runs and then losing by 16 runs to Royal Challengers Bangalore. Marsh’s positive test may force them to use the same lineup as the one that lost to RCB.

Prithvi Shaw: The young opener has two half-centuries to his name this season and looks in good form.

David Warner: He may have only scored four runs in his second appearance for DC, but he followed that up with 61 and 66 runs. In the two consecutive half-centuries, Warner appeared ominous, and DC will hope he continues in this vein.

Sarfaraz Khan: DC has clearly kept Sarfaraz as a floater, and if they get off to a good start, he may not bat again.

Captain Rishabh Pant (wk): The captain has tried to keep the ship together in the middle order, which has been a problem for DC. Pant has a strike rate of just over 145 and has 144 runs in five innings.

Rovman Powell: Had it not been for the Australian being ruled out, Powell might have lost his spot to Marsh. In five innings, the West Indian big hitter has only given up one double digit run.

Lalit Yadav: In the previous match, Lalit was only out for one run. Yadav, on the other hand, has played some good cricket for the team in the past.

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”

Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.

KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.

In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.

In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.

Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.

Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.

He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
