Delhi produced a scintillating effort in the last season as they progressed to the qualifiers; however, their journey ended there. The young side under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer did an exceptional job in the last edition and they will aim to continue the same and go all the way in the upcoming season.

The management with former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting at the helm of things will be keen to fill in the weak links in the squad in the auctions which will take place in Kolkata on December 19. They are likely to release a few cricketers as well to bring in some fresh faces in the side.

COLIN MUNRO

The New Zealander is one of the most destructive batsmen across the globe in the shortest format of the game. However, he was not at his best for Delhi Capitals in the 2019 edition of the Indian Premier League.

He has failed to show his exploits in India which has hurt Delhi’s chances on many occasions. However, it is not only his performance, but Munro might also face the axe due to the team combinations. With Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan at the top along with skipper Shreyas Iyer at three, it is nearly impossible to accommodate Munro in the top-order.

So, the management might be tempted to release him and rope a utility cricketer in his place.

RAHUL TEWATIA

Delhi Capitals brought Rahul Tewatia for a hefty amount of INR 3 crore in IPL 2018 auctions but he hasn’t been able to do justice to his price tag. The leg-spinner from Haryana could only manage scalp two wickets in the five matches of the IPL 2019.

Moreover, with the presence of quality spinners in the side in the likes of Amit Mishra, Axar Patel, Sandeep Lamichhane, it will be impossible for the management to snick in a game for Tewatia. As a result, Delhi will hope to leave him and go for someone who can make a more significant contribution toward the team’s success.

JALAJ SAXENA

The veteran all-rounder Jalaj Saxena was picked up by Delhi Capitals for his base price of Rs 20 lakh at the player auctions prior to VIVO IPL 2019. After playing the bulk of his career for Madhya Pradesh, the 32-year-old joined Kerala as a professional and had another productive season.

However, he failed to attract any game for Delhi in the last season of the Indian Premier League. As a result, Jalaj will hope to find some new team to get some game time. On the other hand, the Delhi management will also hope to find someone better whom they can use at different stages during the league next year.
