Delhi Capitals looked like one of the calmest sides in the auction room on the previous day. They did not release the core players of the team into the auction pool and were fully aware of their weak links. So, they went accordingly against the players in the players market. DC had a great previous season and finishes as the runners-up in the tournament. This was the first occasion when Delhi Capitals could successfully manage to qualify for the finals.
Shreyas Iyer did exceedingly well as a skipper alongside other talented players like Rishabh Pant, Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, Kagiso Rabada, and Anrich Nortje. These all players impressed the franchise with their performance. Meanwhile, there were some players, who failed to come up with convincing performances. So, DC released those players into the auction pool in order to replace them with new exciting faces.
