DELHI CAPITALS (DC) – SHIVAM DUBE
Delhi Capitals were smart in their retentions and releases as they said goodbye to Mohit Sharma, Tushar Deshpande, Keemo Paul, Sandeep Lamichhane, Alex Carey, and Jason Roy. It was a calculated move by the management, who have Marcus Stoinis and Shimron Hetmyer going for them apart from their Indian stars like Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, and Prithvi Shaw.

However, in the upcoming season, they might require an Indian finisher to compliment Hetmyer and Pant, and hence the DC team must target Shivam Dube, who was released by Royal Challengers Bangalore.
He is a good player of spin, has the ability to hit big sixes, and can give you a couple of decent overs with the ball every match. He also brings balance to the side as well, if DC opens with Marcus Stoinis in the upcoming season.
RAJASTHAN ROYALS (RR) – GLENN MAXWELL
Rajasthan Royals finished last in IPL 2020 and then released their captain Steve Smith along with some other players as well. One of their biggest problems in IPL 2020 was the lack of a bonafide experienced big-hitter in the middle order, as they asked Ben Stokes to open the innings and had to push Jos Buttler down and then rely on Riyan Parag and Rahul Tewatia to finish matches.
Hence, they must shell out big bucks to buy Glenn Maxwell, who was released by Kings XI Punjab. Maxwell might have had a lull IPL 2020 in UAE, but he has the chops to hit big shots and is a brilliant spin bowler as well. RR will only bring more power in their XI and Maxwell will also help new captain Sanju Samson as well.
