While Shikhar Dhawan has held one end up this season while opening the batting for Delhi Capitals (DC), there are doubts over who his opening partner will be in Qualifier 1 against Mumbai Indians (MI) on Thursday, as Prithvi Shaw has failed to live up to the billing in the latter half of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

There is a possibility that all-rounder Marcus Stoinis could open as the Delhi Capitals support staff has considered his name at the top.
