The IPL 2024 auction at the Coca Cola Arena in Dubai, saw Delhi Capitals (DC) complete nine new additions to its squad ahead of the next edition of the tournament.
DC’s biggest acquisition was that of the young wicket-keeper batter Kumar Kushagra, who was roped in for a price of Rs. 7.20 lakh.
Also making their way to the Delhi-based side are the explosive English batter, Harry Brook and the Aussie Jhye Richardson. The former is expected to slot in directly to the team, while the latter will likely act as a backup to Anrich Nortje.
For DC, a lot will hinge on the availability of skipper Rishab Pant, who expected to recover in time for the next season. The addition of Kushagra can be seen as a potential safety net for a worst-case scenario.
