1. Capitals of Delhi (DC)

Rassie Van der Dussen is an experienced hitter who has the ability to break out in the middle order. He scored an unbeaten 75 from just 46 balls in this year’s June match against India in Delhi to lead South Africa to victory. He has a lot of experience in domestic cricket in South Africa, and the young players in the Delhi Capitals team will definitely benefit from his knowledge.

The Delhi Capitals still have Rs 19.45 crore in their bank account so they need to work to fill most of the gaps in the team. With the mid-order batsman being quite fragile, the Rishabh Pant-led side should focus on buying quality batsmen.
