IPL 2019: What should be Delhi Capitals' ideal playing XI

All Rounders - Hanuma Vihari, Chris Morris and Axar Patel

Axar Patel

Hanuma Vihari was bought by the Delhi Capitals for INR 2 Crore at the auction and this could be a very good buy for the team. Vihari impressed playing while for the Test team and though he's not a big striker of the ball, he has the technique and guile required to be a good no.6 batsman even in T20 cricket. He's very handy with the ball and can pick up a few surprise scalps. He provides much needed stability to the batting order.

Chris Morris has been the backbone of this team for a while now and is an indispensable asset to the side. Primarily functioning as a seam bowling option, Morris is also perfectly capable of striking the ball far into the stands, and has finished several innings for the Delhi side with great aplomb.

Axar Patel is one of the league's best Indian all rounders and the demand for one has never been this high. Axar was snapped up by the Capitals for a big sum of INR 5 Crore and he will have to do justice to that price tag.

He is a handy bat who can whack the ball hard as well as find the gaps. His expertise though lies with the ball, and he has the ability to choke the batsman with his tight lines bowling left-arm orthodox spin. Axar can bowl both in the power play or in the middle overs and his arm ball and sliders are two deliveries which batsmen need to be wary off.
