The 11th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2023 between Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals saw David Warner win the toss and opt to bowl first. However, it was David Warner’s run-down of the team’s construction that left many in shock.
With Mitchell Marsh unavailable as the player is yet to join the team following his wedding, the team have also dropped Prithvi Shaw who has been severely out of form for a while now. The batter has failed to live up to the expectations and as such the likes of Manish Pandey, Rovman Powell, and Lalit Yadav have been brought into the squad.

Apart from Prithvi Shaw, Capitals have also benched Sarfaraz Khan who has failed to impress in his first two outings, getting dismissed on a mediocre score. With Delhi looking for a win at all costs, the team has decided to snub Prithvi Shaw and Sarfaraz Khan for trying and testing their combination to see what works out the best.

Fans took to Twitter to voice their opinion on Delhi Capital’s decision to snub Prithvi Shaw, while some fans agreed with the franchise as the player’s form had dipped in recent games, a mass section of fans instead took it out by trolling the cricketer on the social media platform.

Fans React As Delhi Capitals Snub Prithvi Shaw
It will be interesting to see what Delhi Capitals do further in the innings as they can also get one bowler off after their first innings with the ball and introduce Prithvi Shaw as an impact player to open in the second innings.

Delhi capitals have replaced Prithvi Shaw with Manish Pandey which I feel is a horrible decision. Shaw even when he fails ensures that he doesn't play too many dot balls. #RRvsDC

The meme which was saying we play both Sarfaraz and Prithvi Shaw in our team doesn't hold true today for DC. #IPL2023

Why has Prithvi Shaw been dropped from the team today, even though he didn't play in 2 matches but he is a very explosive batsman, he is the future of India.#Prathavi_Shaw#Delhi_Capital

Manish Pandey is ten times better fielder than Prithvi Shaw so why are people fuming or confused on Manish selection in X1 ahead of Prithvi.

Prithvi Shaw being replaced by a guy 10 years older than him shows what even Saibaba thinks about his fielding pedigree.

With the team bowling first, the Capitals will hope that they can restrict the opposition under a low-decent total to keep the game in check and bag their first win of the season.
