The assistant coach, Pravin Amre, has a message for all the people who are eagerly waiting for the new players in the squad.

DC has a strong team of batters like Warner and Shaw who both struck at over 150 runs. So did players like Pant and Powell who scored a 149, only few of the IPL teams can boast of such power. 

Though DC already looks like a settled team ahead of the IPL 2023 auction, but given Marsh's form, Delhi Capitals will need an overseas all-rounder who can bat the top three and can also bowl, if an when needed. DC will also need a backup spinner and a wicketkeeper. 

Tim Seifert was released by DC prior to the IPL 2023 auction. While the decision was justified given the Kiwi batters' dwindling T20 returns, it left the Kiwis without a third-choice wicketkeeper. They also let go of KS Bharat, who was most likely slated to be Rishabh Pant's backup. Pant is, of course, the team's first-choice gloveman. There are no viable alternatives, with the exception of Sarfaraz Khan, who has recently acquired the skill in domestic cricket.
