DC IPL 2023 Full Squad: IPL Auction 2023: Delhi Capitals have plugged their gaps and have made some shrewd moves in the market.

Delhi Capitals is another franchise which showed a lot of common sense in their picks. Mukesh Kumar was a net bowler with the franchise last season and is now playing regularly for India A. With his ability to pitch the ball up, he can be a good Powerplay option during the later stage of the tournament.

The first buy of the Mini-Auction for Delhi Capitals was England’s Phil Salt for INR 2 crore. The top-order batter is a highly experienced campaigner in the shortest format of the game. Salt has scored 3817 runs in 167 matches in his T20 career so far.

After a fierce bidding war with Punjab Kings, the Delhi Capitals bagged Mukesh Kumar for INR 5.5 crore. The uncapped pacer has taken 25 wickets in 23 T20 matches. He was also a net bowler in the DC camp during the 2022 IPL season and plays for Bengal and India A.

Reacting to the opportunity of playing for the Delhi franchise, Mukesh expressed, “One of my friends called me and said congratulations. I asked him for what. And then he told me to tune in to the IPL Mini-Auction and watch the bidding. I couldn’t believe what was happening when I switched on the TV. Would like to thank the Delhi franchise. I was with the team last season as well as a net bowler. The environment within the group is really good.”
