#1. Shikhar Dhawan
Indiaâs ace opener is a master of the game. Shikhar Dhawan is simply a treat to watch when he is on the go. He was the highest run scorer for the Capitals with 521 runs.
#2. Jason Roy
Jason Roy is the newest addition to the Delhi Capitals team 2020. He is widely regarded as a T20 specialist. The English batsman is more than capable of raising havoc on the opponent bowling attack single-handedly. He can be very dangerous once he gets into the groove.
#3. Rishabh Pant
Probably one of the most dynamic young Indian batsmen. He began his Test career with a six. One can only imagine how dangerous he becomes when it comes to T20 cricket. He was the highest run scorer for DD in 2018 with 684 runs.
#4. Amit Mishra
Amit Mishra brings a lot of experience along with him. He is one of Delhi Capitals' most successful bowlers in the IPL. Amit Mishra is basically a wizard when it comes to spinning the ball.
#5. Ravichandran Ashwin
Ashwin is undoubtedly one of the biggest catches for the DC Squad as they roped him in from the Kings XI Punjab. With someone like Ravi Ashwin in their troops, the Delhi team looks far more formidable than ever before especially in the spin department.
