5 Players who may captain the 9th team in the IPL 2021 season
They will target the players which will be released by the other franchise in the mega auction.
3. Ajinkya Rahane
Ajinkya Rahane is India’s vice-captain in Test cricket and a regular member of the side as well. He also played for Delhi Capitals in this season but as he wasn’t trusted in all the games as an opener, his form wasn’t great. Rahane has led Rajasthan Royals in the past and his performance as an opener in IPL has been fabulous.
Delhi Capitals might release him ahead of the mega auction as they have other options available. He is expected to be a big name in the auction considering the different aspects of his games. He is known as a calm customer and if added to the side, he can be a fruitful addition for the ninth IPL team.
As an opener, he has scored two hundreds at an average of 35 and he has always prospered with added responsibility. As he is just 32 years of age, he can form the core group for the team for the upcoming three years. With teams looking to add a sheet anchor in the top order like Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis, he can be an ideal candidate for the same.
