IPL Auction 2020: 3 released players Delhi Capitals could target

#1 Dale Steyn

Dale Steyn was released by Royal Challengers Bangalore ahead of the auction

One of the biggest names released before the IPL auction was South African speedster Dale Steyn. Royal Challengers Bangalore raised quite a few eyebrows by keeping Mohammed Siraj in their squad but doing away with Steyn. While the 36-year-old had gone unsold in the previous auction, the chances that he is sought after this time are very high.

A lot of teams need a quality overseas fast bowler before IPL 2020 and hence, the right-arm fast bowler will prove to be a hot commodity in the auction. Delhi Capitals have stacked their Indian contingent with a flurry of big names but the same cannot be said of their foreign cricketers’ department.

Delhi only have Keemo Paul, Sandeep Lamichhane and Kagiso Rabada in their squad thus, they could look to bring Dale Steyn into the team. He has worked with Rabada in the past and along with Ishant Sharma, the trio can wreak havoc in the thirteenth edition of the cash-rich league.

Steyn had recently bowled a fiery spell for Cape Town Blitz in the Mzansi Super League 2019, thus proving that the former Gujarat Lions star still has a lot of fuel left in his tank.
