IPL 2020: 3 areas where Delhi Capitals must improve

3. Foreign pacer

Trent Boult's departure has left a hole in Delhi's pace attack

With the inclusion of Ashwin, Delhi's spin bowling department seems complete; Ashwin, Axar, Mishra and Lamichhane form a very strong core. Furthermore, an in-form Ishant Sharma (who had a fantastic IPL 2018 with the ball) takes care of the Indian pacer slot, with Harshal Patel and Avesh Khan providing adequate cover.

However, Delhi seem thin in the foreign pacer department. With the release of Trent Boult to Mumbai Indians, the Capitals seem a pacer short to complement Kagiso Rabada and Keemo Paul.

Fortunately for the Capitals, there are several players for them to have a look at. Considering his current form, Delhi might be tempted to go for Mitchell Starc. If fit, he could create havoc in the IPL; him and Rabada bowling in tandem would give most teams nightmares.

Starc would, however, be sought by most teams, which could cause Delhi to look elsewhere. Pat Cummins, Chris Jordan, Sheldon Cottrell and Tymal Mills are some other players they might also target.
