IPL History: 10 players Delhi Capitals should not have released over the years

#8 Siddarth Kaul

Siddarth Kaul

Siddarth Kaul was part of the Delhi Capitals dugout for two seasons (2013 – 2014). His inexperience at that time meant that he often struggled to find a place in the playing XI. His bowling was quite raw and he failed to contribute much. Without any hesitation, he was released from his contract after just two seasons.

He was picked up by Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2016. Though he never a single game in his maiden season with them, he utilized his time by picking the brains of the most experienced members of the team. During this time, he learned a lot of tricks that would prove useful in the upcoming seasons.

When he finally got to play a game for SRH in 2017, he made it count. He proved himself a very talented and suitable bowling partner for Bhuvneshwar Kumar and the duo terrorized many batting lineups.

In fact, 2018 was his best season in the IPL. He picked up 21 wickets in 17 games. Currently, he is considered an integral part of the SRH team. Maybe if Delhi Capitals spent a season or two in developing this young bowler, he could’ve become their strike bowler.
