DC vs KKR: Why is Abhishek Porel Not Playing Today's Match IPL? Who is DC Wicket Keeper?

In an important news development, the Delhi Capitals (DC) have dropped their wicket-keeper batsman Abhishek Porel for their sixth encounter of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) season against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) being played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. It has been a horrible IPL 2023 season so far for the Delhi Capitals as they have lost all of their five matches on the trot and they are still looking forward to gain a winning momentum in this tournament.

DC vs KKR: Why is Abhishek Porel Not Playing Today’s Match IPL? Who is DC Wicket Keeper?

After having won the toss and opting to bowl first, the Delhi Capitals captain David Warner mentioned that young wicket-keeper batsman Abhishek Porel is not included in the DC playing XI for today’s DC vs KKR IPL 2023 match. While making his IPL debut this season for the Delhi Capitals, Porel has failed to contribute much with the bat having scored just 33 runs from 4 matches at a poor strike-rate of 106.45 and has a best score of 20 runs. He is not even part of the five substitute members out of which one cane be used as an Impact Player at any moment in the game. In his absence, the Delhi Capitals are playing England’s swashbuckling batsman Phil Salt who will be the DC wicket keeper in this game against Kolkata Knight Riders.

“We will have a bowl first. Weather being around, you don’t know what the total is going to be. We haven’t been disciplined with the ball. We have two changes,” said Delhi Capitals captain David Warner during the toss.
