Delhi Capitals
Delhi Capital surprised their fans by trading in R Ashwin from KXIP and Ajinkya Rahane from Rajasthan Royals. Both of these trades have strengthened their squad more or less. Rahane provides solid support to the middle order, while Ashwin’s guile and variations will suit the Arun Jaitley stadium pitch perfectly. Colin Munro, Hanuma Vihari, Chris Morris and Colin Ingram didn’t perform as expected and were released.
