IPL 2023: Best starting XI of DC after mini auction
DC bought Rilee Rossouw, Phil Salt, Manish Pandey, Ishant Sharma and Mukesh Kumar at the IPL 2023 auction.
10. Anrich Nortje
Anrich Nortje is one of the rare breeds of fast bowlers who have the ability to clock over 150 kmph consistently. The 29-year-old has ripped through batting lineups with his fiery pace and has become an important member of the South African bowling set-up. He has played 29 T20Is and bagged 35 wickets at an economy of 7.11.
Nortje was exceptional for the Delhi franchise in the 2020 and 202, picking up 34 wickets in 24 matches. Courtesy of his stellar showings, DC retained him for the 15th IPL edition. However, the speedster was not at his best with the ball. Though the right-arm fast bowler picked up nine wickets in six games, he leaked runs at an alarming rate of 9.72.
The pacer breathed fire in the T20 World Cup 2022 and was South Africa’s strike force with the ball. Nortje played five games in the competition and took 11 wickets at an exceptional economy of 5.37. The express pacer would look to continue on his rich vein of form and provide match-winning contributions for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2023.
