DC IPL auction 2023: Delhi Capitals will look to sign a specialist finisher

The Hindu  

The Indian Premier League 2023 auction is set to take place on Friday in Kochi. READ | Which players will come in IPL 2023 auction: base price, age, country and IPL history Here’s what DC’s auction strategy could look like: Delhi Capitals Purse remaining: INR 19.45 crore Total slots available: 5 Overseas slots available: 2 IPL auction strategy: Having only released five players, Capitals looks like a settled team ahead of the auctions. But, considering the Rishabh Pant-led side is stacked with bowling firepower, Delhi could look towards investing more aggressively on batters who float in the middle-order, which is slightly light with an out-of-form Pant, inconsistent Rovman Powell and Sarfaraz Khan. Capitals would also consider a specialist finisher with Rilee Rossouw and Nicholas Pooran emerging as front-runners for that role. Like most teams, Capitals will also need a cover for captain and wicketkeeper Pant and could look at getting back K.S.
