Delhi Capitals Team News
Shaw's inclusion in the previous game was a smart move by the Capitals that paid off. Shaw was later taken off though, and Rasikh Salam came on in his place.
If the Capitals choose to bowl first, Salam and Lilit Yadav may be included in the starting lineup at first, with Shaw coming in later, depending on the state of the field. On the other hand, things might go the other way if they bat first.
The Capitals missed Kuldeep Yadav in the game against the CSK because he was hurt, and they want him to come back quickly, preferably for the next game against KKR.
Furthermore, the Capitals have been worried by the way their foreign players, Anrich Nortje, and Tristan Stubbs, have been playing.
Stubbs had a difficult game against CSK, being removed for a golden duck, and Nortje has looked rusty in the first few games.
In light of this, Jhye Richardson displayed his skills during team practice, pointing to a possible replacement for Nortje if the management decides to give him a break.
The addition of Jake Fraser-McGurk to the lineup is also being talked about as a possible replacement for Stubbs.

Varun Chakravarthy only bowled two overs in the last game Angkrish Raghuvanshi came in and took his place.
Leg-spinner Suyash Sharma is another good choice for that spot. Raghuvanshi is still being thought about as the Impact player and could switch off with either Suyash or Chakravarthy.
There were worries that Venkatesh might have hurt his back in the last game against RCB because he was observed hobbling.
But, KKR's bowling coach Bharat Arun said that Venkatesh is 'fit and ready to go' which took away any doubt about whether or not he could play in the next game against DC.
