Delhi Capitals’ performance in IPL 2022
Delhi Capitals had a mixed-bag season in IPL 2022. David Warner was the leading run-getter for Delhi Capitals with 432 runs from 12 matches ( 12 innings) including 5 half-centuries to his name with the best score of 92 not out.
Prithvi Shaw scored 283 runs from 10 matches ( 10 innings) in IPL 2022 with 2 half-centuries to his name and the best score of 61. He and Warner looked in sublime touch during the 2022 IPL, but with no Pant there, they need to take more responsibility.
Kuldeep Yadav finished as the leading wicket for Delhi Capitals in 2022. He grabbed 21 wickets from 14 matches ( 14 innings) with 4 for 14 as his best figures including 2 four-wicket hauls. Kuldeep Yadav showed his skills making life tough for opponent batters.
Shaw would be hoping to give a great start in Indian Premier League 2023 along with David Warner. Delhi Capitals begins their 2023 IPL tournament on Lucknow Super Giants on 1 April 2023 at Lucknow. He would play a key role in providing explosive starts making life tough for opponent bowlers.
