IPL 2023: 5 teams that might target Adil Rashid at auction
Adil Rashid is a world-class spinner and has set the international arena on fire with his sensational performances
1. Delhi Capitals
Kuldeep Yadav was at his best in the 2022 season of the cash-rich league and picked up 21 wickets in 14 matches for Delhi Capitals at an economy of 8.44. However, spinners such as Axar Patel and Lalit Yadav, who were also a regular feature in the playing XI were quite mediocre with their performances.
Axar could manage just six wickets in 13 games at an economy of whereas Lalit could bag only four scalps in 12 matches. Given the duo was not amongst the wickets last season, the Delhi franchise might ponder over adding an attacking spin option.
Though DC also have the services of a leg-spinner in Praveen Dubey, he is quite thin of experience. So, there might be a temptation of signing an overseas spinner at the upcoming player auction to strengthen the spin attack and the Delhi management could look to add Rashid into the mix.
The veteran spinner is a courageous bowler and unafraid to lure the batters with his flight. Rashid has been used as a wicket-taking option by England and he has delivered the goods on most occasions. Therefore, Delhi might make a bid for him at the IPL 2023 auction.
