Delhi Capitals (DC) coming off a win against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their last game, made a key change to their playing XI for the second home match in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday, April 3. Pacer Mukesh Kumar, who turned the game in the Capitals’ favour with the wickets of Ajinkya Rahane, Sameer Rizvi and Shivam Dube, wasn’t named in the line-up with all-rounder Sumit Kumar replacing him against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

Mukesh, who suffered a hamstring strain in the last game against the Super Kings, bowled despite the injury and it seems the Capitals didn’t want to take any risk and hence he was left out. Skipper Rishabh Pant mentioned that Mukesh was injured and hence was replaced by Sumit.
