DC, under new skipper Axar Patel, has brought in KL Rahul as their wicketkeeper-batter. Their top order features vice-captain Faf du Plessis, Jake Fraser-McGurk, and Rahul. DC also has a strong bowling line-up with the likes of Mitchell Starc, Mohit Sharma, T Natarajan, and Kuldeep Yadav. The side, who will play their first two games at Visakhapatnam, will look to start well and add crucial points.
LSG, on the other hand, have put their trust in Rishabh Pant, acquiring him for record INR 27 crore and handing him the captaincy. Their batting lineup consists of world-class batters like Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran, and David Miller. However, injuries to key pacers Mayank Yadav, Mohsin Khan, and Avesh Khan could leave their bowling attack in trouble. The side has also brought in Shardul Thakur as an injury replacement for Mohsin and is expected to bowl in the middle and death overs.
