IPL 2023: 5 Indian players Delhi Capitals can sign as Rishabh Pant's replacement
Rishabh Pant missing IPL 2023 has been confirmed by Sourav Ganguly recently.
3. Baba Indrajith
Baba Indrajith has been a run-bank in the Indian domestic arena. The 28-year-old has featured in 62 FC matches and scored 4275 runs at an average of 52.77. Talking about List-A cricket, he scored 1268 runs in 49 matches at an average of 45.28.
Kolkata Knight Riders signed Indrajith at the 2022 mega auction to bolster their batting line-up. However, he could not perform as per expectations and could score only 21 runs at a strike rate of 70.00. As Tamil Nadu batter failed to impress with his limited showings, KKR parted ways with him. The wicketkeeper-batter went under the hammer at IPL 2023 auction but no franchise showed interest in signing him.
Indrajith has shown his class in the domestic arena time and time again and has the might to shine in the cash-rich league if given a longer run. Thus, Delhi Capitals could eye him as a potential candidate to fill Pant’s boots in the 16th IPL edition.
