RCB vs DC: Why is Prithvi Shaw Not Playing Today’s IPL 2023 Match?

After winning the toss and opting to bowl first, the Delhi Capitals captain David Warner revealed that Prithvi Shaw is not part of the DC playing 11 for this RCB vs DC IPL 2023 match. However, the explosive opening batsman is absolutely fit and part of the five substitute members out of which one can be used as an Impact Player at any moment in the match. On the other hand, Shaw has not been in the best of forms with the bat so far in the ongoing IPL 2023 season having scored just 15 runs from 4 games at a strike-rate of less than 130. But the Delhi Capitals team management are once again expected to show the faith in the youngster and he will definitely open the batting in the second innings.

“We are going to bowl first. The ground looks incredible, credit to the staff here. It’s about getting one win, the momentum follows from there. We don’t want to lose wickets in the powerplay. We have change. Marsh comes in for Powell,” said Delhi Capitals captain David Warner during the toss.
