We Will Try New Openers: Delhi Capitals On Top-order Issues
Lucknow Super Giants: Delhi Capitals head coach Hemang Badani has insisted that the franchise has found an answer to their top-order woes by bringing in fresh options like Prithvi Shaw, Ben Duckett and Pathum Nissanka through the auction ahead of the IPL 2026 season starting on March 28.
DC posted the second-lowest run rate and batting average in the batting powerplay during IPL 2025. Opening partnerships were a major concern, as DC’s opening stands averaged just 21.8 runs – the lowest among all teams and yielding only two fifty-plus stands in 14 innings.
DC experimented with seven different opening combinations but failed to find success, leading to a rethink ahead of the new season and with the hope that stability at the top in 2026 will replace the constant chopping and changing that hurt them in 2025.
