Delhi Capitals squad for IPL 2023
Despite having almost all of their bases covered, Delhi Capitals managed a mid-table finish in the last season and they would be definitely keen to lift the trophy this time. DC released only four players ahead of the mini-auction and would aim to build a backup in the mini auction for the IPL 2023.

Delhi Capitals boast a powerful batting unit including the opening duo of David Warner and Prithvi Shaw. Besides, Mitchell Marsh will provide an attacking element in the middle order while Rovman Powell can finish the innings in style. They traded Shardul Thakur to Kolkata Knight Riders ahead of the bidding process after splashing Rs 10.75 crores for him in the last auction, potentially because he leaked runs with an economy of 9.78 in IPL 2022.Ā
Among the aggressors, DC might need to go for a batter who can anchor the innings to hold one end. Also, they donāt have a leg-spinner in the squad and so are required to fill that slot in the mini auction with an available purse of Rs 19.45 Crores.Ā
DC have made their opening move in the bidding process buying Phil Salt at a price of ā¹2 Crores and have added firepower to their batting unit. They have added veteran star Ishant Sharma to the team at a price of ā¹50 lakhs and his experince will be surely handy for the young pacers in the squad. Bengal pacer Mukesh Gandhi has been also added to the team at a cost of ā¹5.5 Crores, and the franchiseĀ strenghtened their Indian contingent by bringing in Manish Pandey for ā¹2.4 Crores. Later, they completed their squad by signing South Africa's Rilee Rossouw for ā¹4.6 Crores.
