In the IPL auction of 2019, the Delhi Capitals bought Ishant Sharma, West Indies pacer Keemo Paul, Axar Patel and Nathu Singh among other players. Before the auction, DC also retained their trio of overseas fast bowlers Trent Boult, Kagiso Rabada and Chris Morris. Moreover, the Indian fast bowlers like Avesh Khan, Bandaru Ayyappa, and Harshal Patel will provide decent back-up options to the team management.

This year the Delhi Capitals have arguably the best opening bowling combination in the league with the presence of Rabada and Boult. Meanwhile, the change bowlers Morris and Ishant Sharma will pose the same threat to the opposition batting line-up.

In the spin department, the Delhi Capitals already had the experienced Amit Mishra, and new spin-sensation from Nepal Sandeep Lamichhane in their ranks. Delhi Capitals also bought Axar Patel in the auction and to add variation to their spin bowling department.

This time the Delhi-based franchise seem to have the fiercest bowling unit in the league, which can blow away any batting line-up.
