AKSHAR PATEL
Bought by DELHI CAPITALS for INR 5 cr
Akshar Patel was released by the Kings XI Punjab, after a lukewarm performance in the IPL 2018. This was after he was the sole player retained by KXIP for IPL 2018. Akshar has 61 wickets in 68 matches at an economy of 7.52 and 686 runs for KXIP at a strike rate of 126.56.

However, despite KXIP entering into a bidding war with Delhi Capitals for Akshar, but DC came out winners, as they required an Indian all-rounder after trading Shahbaz Nadeem to SRH and Akshar has made a name for himself for keeping runs down, something that will help DC rejuvenate their fortunes in the tournament.
