Delhi Capitals did not have a memorable season last year. Nevertheless, they have the core to make it big next year. The team has decent funds remaining to improve the squad. They would have specific targets and they could be desperate for those buys. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three players Delhi Capitals could desperately target in IPL 2024 Auctions.
1) Shahrukh Khan
The lack of an extra Indian batter is what has hurt Delhi Capitals in recent seasons. With the signing of Shahrukh Khan, they can easily arrest the issue. The team would become really strong if they could acquire the big-hitter.
At No.5, he would be the ideal candidate for the side. With Rishabh Pant at No.4 and Axar Patel at No.6, there is a good Indian core in the middle-order. This way, the team can have foreign players in the other areas of the team.
2) Travis Head
Travis Head is one of the players Delhi Capitals could desperately target in IPL 2024 Auctions. If Shahrukh Khan is not attainable, the eyes would drift towards an overseas name. That said, the name of Travis Head could come earlier in the auctions.
Head could be needed to replace Rilee Rossouw and Rovman Powell, who were released by the franchise. He might also open the innings if Prithvi Shaw is not in great form. Considering the Aussie connection, Ricky Ponting could go for the World Cup winner.
3) Daryl Mitchell
At No.5, DC can also target someone like Daryl Mitchell. He would be the ideal man to have in between Axar Patel and Rishabh Pant.
He is someone who can play well against both pace and spin. Plus, he knows the requirements of a No.5 batter and is experienced with it. He could also offer a few overs with the ball. Hence, he can be a good target for the team.
