IPL 2021, DC vs SRH Predicted Playing 11: Steve Smith likely to make way for Shreyas Iyer

DC vs SRH IPL 2021 Match 33 Playing XI Predictions: With Shreyas Iyer returning to full fitness, Delhi Capitals could opt for the Indian batsman in place of Steve Smith, who is returning from an injury himself and struggled for runs in the first half of the 2021 IPL.

Delhi Capitals (DC) face SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the first match for both teams since the resumption of the 2021 Indian Premier League. The match will be played at the Dubai International Stadium.

DC have been handed a huge boost in the form of Shreyas Iyer, who missed the first half of the season due to a shoulder injury. He could slot into the top order in place of Steve Smith. The Australian did not have the best of outings and earlier revealed that he had been playing in India with an injury. With Smith saying he is still on the mend just a few days before the start of the IPL and with Iyer's better record in T20 cricket, it looks likely that the latter will play ahead of the former Australian captain.
