A young and reliable side
Under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, the team performed well in the 2019 edition. Their journey till the playoffs proved their ability to withstand pressure in the middle. The performance was highly applauded by several cricket fans.
Over the years, the Delhi side has always been known for the promotion of youngsters. Many of them have made International debuts after their consistent batting in the tournament.
A couple of days ago, the side also finished their first trading for the season. They released Sherfane Rutherford for Mayank Markande to add strength to the spin bowling.
Will the Delhi side make some changes ahead of the next edition? We will have to wait and see. Further developments on this news are expected to be out soon in a week”s time.
