On 1 April, the Delhi Capitals started their 2023 campaign with a [[2023 Indian Premier League#match3|loss]] at the hands of the [[Lucknow Super Giants]] at [[Ekana Cricket Stadium|Ekana]]. Batting first, the Super Giants registered a total of 193 [[Run (cricket)|runs]] for the loss of six [[Wicket|wickets]], with debutant [[Kyle Mayers]] scoring 73 runs in just 38 balls. [[Nicholas Pooran]] and [[Ayush Badoni|Ayush Bodoni]] also contributed to the score with explosive knocks toward the end of the innings. At the end of his [[Bowling (cricket)|bowling]] spell, Delhi's [[Khaleel Ahmed]] was replaced with [[2023 Indian Premier League#Rules|impact player]] [[Aman Hakim Khan|Aman Khan]]. In the second innings, [[Mark Wood (cricketer)|Mark Wood]] achieved a [[five-wicket haul]], as the Delhi batters collapsed with the exception of skipper David Warner, who managed a slow half-century. The innings ended with a final score of 143 for 9 wickets, falling short of the target by 50 runs.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Muthu |first=Deivarayan |date=2023-04-01 |title=Wood five-for, Mayers 73 stud Super Giants' win |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/indian-premier-league-2023-1345038/lucknow-super-giants-vs-delhi-capitals-3rd-match-1359477/match-report |access-date=2024-12-27 |website=ESPNcricinfo |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2023-04-01 |title=Mayers sizzles, Wood rattles DC as LSG romp home by 50 runs |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/sports/mayers-sizzles-wood-rattles-dc-as-lsg-romp-home-by-50-runs/articleshow/99176720.cms?from=mdr |access-date=2025-01-01 |work=The Economic Times |issn=0013-0389}}</ref><br />

The Capitals suffered another [[2023 Indian Premier League#match7|defeat]] in their second game, on 4 April, this time by defending champions [[Gujarat Lions]]. Playing at their home ground of [[Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium|Feroz Shah Kotla]], the Delhi batters managed to score 52 runs in the powerplay, losing only two wickets. However, Gujarat's bowling attack, consisting of [[Mohammed Shami]] and [[Rashid Khan]], both of whom achieved three-wicket hauls, as well as [[Alzarri Joseph]], who took two wickets in two balls, restricted the Delhi batters to 162 for 8 at the end of their innings. The Lions' batsmen chased this total comfortably, with [[Sai Sudharsan]]'s knock of 62 earning him the [[Player of the Match awards (cricket)|player of the match]] award. The match ended with 11 balls remaining.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Pant |first=Ashish |date=2023-04-04 |title=Sai Sudharsan sees Titans home after their quicks restrict Delhi Capitals |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/indian-premier-league-2023-1345038/delhi-capitals-vs-gujarat-titans-7th-match-1359481/match-report |access-date=2024-12-27 |website=ESPNcricinfo |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Kishore |first=Shashank |date=2023-04-05 |title=Shami and Joseph crank it up on spicy Kotla pitch |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/ipl-2023-dc-vs-gt-mohammed-shami-alzarri-joseph-crank-it-up-on-spicy-kotla-pitch-1367000 |access-date=2025-01-01 |website=ESPNcricinfo |language=en}}</ref><br />

Delhi's troubles continued into their third match, held on 8 April in [[Assam Cricket Association Stadium, Guwahati|Guwahati]], where they were handed a [[2023 Indian Premier League#match11|57-run defeat]] by the [[Rajasthan Royals]]. Batting first, the Royals set a score of 199 for the loss of four wickets, thanks to [[Jos Buttler]] and [[Yashasvi Jaiswal]], with explosive knocks of 79 and 60 runs respectively. Jaiswal set the tone with five [[Boundary (cricket)|fours]] in the first over, while Buttler capitalized on early chances to anchor the innings. The Capitals' chase faltered immediately, as [[Trent Boult]] dismissed [[Prithvi Shaw]] and [[Manish Pandey]] in the first over, leaving Delhi reeling at 0/2. Boult and [[Yuzvendra Chahal]] led the Royals' bowling attack, both registering three-wicket hauls, while David Warner's labored 65 from 55 balls was the only resistance from the Capitals, who ended the innings registering 142 for the loss of 9 wickets.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Agrawal |first=Himanshu |date=2023-04-08 |title=Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler and Trent Boult help Royals thump Capitals |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/indian-premier-league-2023-1345038/rajasthan-royals-vs-delhi-capitals-11th-match-1359485/match-report |access-date=2025-01-01 |website=ESPNcricinfo |language=en}}</ref><br />
