Swastik Chikara has emerged as a standout performer in the Uttar Pradesh T20 League, leading Meerut Mavericks to victory with a blistering 62 off 31 balls. Although he was part of the Delhi Capitals squad in IPL 2024, he didn’t get a chance to play. DC signed him for Rs 20 lakhs in the IPL 2024 auction. If the franchise decides to release him ahead of the mega auction, Chikara could attract a much higher bid from other teams, given his recent form.
