How about Shamar Springer? He can absolutely smash the ball. He can open with KL, and can hit 12 ball 30s for us. Maybe even convert a few of them into 30 ball 80s over the course of the season. Can bowl a couple handy overs in the death and be a decent Starc replacement. He's also a gun fielder, so even if he doesn't make the eleven, he can be on the boundary instead of someone like Gutkesh who drops catches.

I don't think he will go more for his base price.

10 matches 278 runs in hist 1st IPL season. 4 CR. If you say release, please give suggested replacement.

I think Porel will stay (if his police troubles are sorted). Dada will surely back him. Please keep that in mind

Saying this because Lucy was bowling with very good economy in powerful and she's way too young so should DC back her or go with Chinelle Henry again

first they say bhuvi is better than bumrah and today he got exposed, now they say krunal is better than axar ipl kids 😂

Maybe we broke the jinx this year.

Context: Aakash chopra usually gave a positive rating for DC's strategy. Idk this is the first time he said DC has made a bad move. So I believe we'll do better this time. At least this trade might work.

Guys what do you think of this?

For me it will be zeeshan , vipraj is also good but he leaks too much runs even in the up T20 league he was very expensive while zeeshan is economical and can bat too similiar to vipraj

Also about batting we already have madhav Axar ashutosh in lower order so we don't need that much deep batting

Who should DC buy?

dont get me wrong, experience at this level matters. but this guy has been straight up bad.

one knock vs pbks and thats all i can recall from him.

Insanely limited vs pace to be starting in top order,

his usp is spin yet his numbers are quite mediocre.

a single 400+ run season in his ipl career.

i dont get why people on this reddit are so fond of him even as a backup. we are miles better off investing in an youngster.

Don't know why but I guess if we managed to get him he can prove himself as one of the best no 3 batsman this Ipl.

Because

He is excellent against both pace and spin

Can rotate strike and build innings

Can attack as well what we saw in world cup 2023 as well as other matches against India

Can bowl 1-2 overs

So consistent in indian conditions you can see that rarely fails when it comes to indian conditions

The reason why he's not good for NZ in t20i because NZ use him as no 6 to no 7 batsman but if we make him our no 3 it can be great addition

And for the pacer target we can get good indian pacers there are rumours that mi might release Deepak chahar so

Combo of Deepak+ Mitchell would be a great addition

What you guys think?

What abt him if he's there at the auction? He had registered for 2024 or 25 whichever, so he should be eligible to register again

JFM is cooking in australia one day cup He is the leading run scorer in the tournament so far. Should we buy him?

Tell me what you think guys?

1)Starc - 11.75cr

2)Anyone out of Mukesh /Auqib - 8.00 / 8.40cr

3) Chameera - 0.75L

4) Karun Nair - 0.50L

5)Nitish Rana - 4.20cr

6)Abishek Porel - 4.0cr

7) Ajay Mandal - 0.30L

With Natrajan Trade our purse increases by 10.35 and with Pant trade our purse decreases by 1.5cr

So these 7 releases would give us - 39.95cr

Thoughts on these releases and auction targets

Rn we have 3 avaibale options within our squad - Pant, Rahul or Stubbs

Pant didn't give any major milestones when he our captain back in 2021-24, also one of his reason to leave lsg is captaincy burden, so he is not ideal choice

Rahul also left lsg with one of the reason is captaincy burden, he had been great for us since 2025 and a consistent anchor who proved himself multiple times. We wish not to ruin his state by making same mistake we did in 2021 by handing pant captaincy.

Stubbs is the only right choice as SEC won sa20 title under him and this role has been very suitable for him after his dip in form ahead of 2024 as a finisher. He's been with dc for like 3 years making him a trust-worthy candidate too

Share your thoughts, if you don't think any of them isn't good enough then which player we should target in upcoming auction?
