We saw a completely different team of Delhi Capitals in the last season of IPL which was held in UAE. The franchise always struggled since its inception but last year they came out as warriors & reached the finals of IPL 2020. In the end they lost the finals but the whole league gave a completely different image of DC. According to many experts, the DC team in 2020 was the best the franchise ever had. A lot of the credit for DC’s success would go to its coach, Ricky Ponting for infusing confidence in the side. A new season is about to start & we already see how Delhi Capitals are preparing for the league. Let’s look at their top 3 players who can change the game altogether.
1) Rishabh Pant
This name deserves to be on the top of our list undoubtedly. The 23-year old superstar is at his best form & has taken team India to victories from unbelievable circumstances. His attitude of playing Test match cricket signifies the ‘New India’ and the hunger to win games. Pant, like Virender Sehwag, is always criticized for being irresponsible but he has put a full stop to all the negative talks by performing in two most difficult campaigns for India. He would be Coach Ricky Ponting’s important man to bat in the middle overs.
2) Steve Smith
Ex captain of Rajasthan Royals was released by RR before the IPL Auction 2021. He was picked by DC at a slightly higher price of 2.2 crore rupees, which is slightly above his base price of 2 crore rupees. Although experts have doubts about his form but his presence in the team alongside Ricky Ponting would make the team energy fantastic. He has scored 2333 runs in IPL cricket.
He is the most faithful all rounder of Delhi Capitals. He can hit boundaries, can bowl anytime in the innings as well as can field with the best of his energy. He has been playing IPL since 2015 & his inclusion in the DC squad will strengthen the team not only on papers but also off papers as well. He has 825 runs as a batsman in IPL and has also picked up 28 wickets in 46 matches. Stoinis can be a very strong player for the DC side.
