Delhi Capitals did not have a memorable outing in the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League. Despite having big names like David Warner, Axar Patel, Prithvi Shaw, Manish Pandey and Mustafizur Rahman in the team, Delhi finished in the bottom two. DC will have to make some smart picks at the IPL 2024 Auction.
The biggest positive for Delhi is that their captain Rishabh Pant will likely return for the 2024 season. Hence, their wicketkeeping problem is sorted. Here’s a list of five other players DC should target at IPL 2024 Auction.
1. DC should target Pat Cummins at IPL 2024 Auction
Pat Cummins is a match-winner, who knows how to perform well in pressure situations. The Australian all-rounder can not only provide balance to Delhi, but he can also help them end their championship drought in IPL.
2. DC should target Shahrukh Khan at IPL 2024 Auction
Delhi have released players like Rilee Rossouw, Rovman Powell, Priyam Garg, Manish Pandey and Sarfaraz Khan. It is a clear indication that DC wants new middle-order batters. Shahrukh Khan can be a fantastic choice.
3. Kartik Tyagi
Delhi Capitals have also let go of fast bowlers like Mustafizur Rahman, Chetan Sakariya and Kamlesh Nagarkoti. They can consider trying to sign Kartik Tyagi, who is an express fast bowler of India.
4. Lockie Ferguson
Talking about express fast bowlers, one more option that DC can consider is Lockie Ferguson. He starred in Gujarat Titans’ IPL 2022 championship win. Perhaps, he can do the same for DC in 2024.
5. Josh Inglis
As mentioned ahead, DC are in need of new options in the middle order of their team. Josh Inglis, who recently had a memorable World Cup campaign with Australia, can be another top-quality choice.
