Delhi Capitals (DC) batter Prithvi Shaw has been dropped from the starting XI for the ongoing game against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Barsapara Stadium in the Indian Premier League 2023 on Saturday, April 8.The development came after Shaw failed to deliver in his first two games, scoring 12 and seven against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Gujarat Titans (GT), respectively. DC lost both those games.The right-handed batter, though, has been included among the five subs for the impact players list. He was replaced by Manish Pandey in the XI. The 23-year-old can still come out to bat in the second innings if he replaces someone in the starting XI as an impact player.Fans had mixed reactions to the decision. While some expressed disappointment at Prithvi Shaw's absence from DC's starting XI, some questioned his fitness standards.One tweeted:"Prithvi Shaw can't field.
