While Delhi Capitals scored a great victory over Kolkata Knight Riders, defeating the two-time IPL champions by 18 races in Sharjah, there was a great blow. Key spinning pitcher Amit Mishra, who has been among those who have taken grounds in the current Indian Premier League season, suffered an injury and was only able to throw two overs. This comes just after R Ashwin has recovered from his injury to return to the team. DC may have to make a change to compensate for this.

Shikhar Dhawan: Shikhar Dhawan is off to a good start but hasn’t been able to build it up in longer innings. He could only get a few more chances before Ajinkya Rahane could replace him.
Shreyas Iyer (c): Shreyas Iyer’s hard work paid off against KKR by scoring 88 runs on 38 balls. This Iyer is a dangerous Iyer.

Rishabh Pant (week): Rishabh Pant is still struggling for a big score, but contributes a lot in death overs. It is irreplaceable.
Shimron Hetmyer: Shimron Hetmyer hasn’t lived up to his reputation thus far and it’s only a matter of time before DC management thinks of a change.
Marcus Stoinis: Marcus Stoinis has been the winner of the match for DC on more than one occasion. He could be DC’s MVP this season.
Ravichandran Ashwin: R Ashwin has come back from injury, but it will still take time to do his best.
Kagiso Rabada: Kagiso Rabada has been in tremendous form this season, but he had a bad start against KKR. Get up and move on.
