Mitchell Marsh

Marsh has been injury-prone throughout his IPL career. Previously while playing for SRH he was ruled out due to injury concerns. Since joining Delhi Capitals, he has not been at his best for the franchise.

In 21 matches for the franchise, he has scored 440 runs over two years. He has averaged just above 20 which is not good for a player of his caliber. The Delhi Capitals management might look beyond him.

Harry Brook

Brook was roped in by Delhi Capitals for 4 crores. However, the England batter pulled out citing personal reasons leaving the franchise in trouble and needing to replace him. This attitude from the England players is what many of the franchises spoke about. Given that Brook showed no interest in playing for DC, they might release him and look for better options in the mega auctions.

Jhye Richardson

The Australian pacer might be released by the franchise heading into the next IPL mega auction THey preferred using Anrich Nortje ahead of him, given his raw pace. The Australian pacer has played in the IPL before but has not delivered consistently for the teams he has played for which is why has lost their favour.
