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.
11. Mukesh Kumar
Mukesh Kumar has set the Indian domestic circuit ablaze with his breathtaking performances. First-class cricket has been his happy hunting ground where the 29-year-old has picked up 123 wickets in 33 matches at an average of 21.49. He has also fared well in the shortest format, bagging 25 wickets in 23 matches at an economy of 7.20.
Mukesh was quite outstanding in the Ranji Trophy 2021-22 and picked up 20 wickets for Bengal in five matches. The ace pacer also lighted the Irani Cup 2022 with his bowling exploits and bagged five scalps in the game. He continued his good work in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022 and took nine wickets in six games at an economy of 4.91.
Courtesy of his terrific performances in the domestic arena, he got an international call-up for the ODI series against South Africa. Delhi Capitals liked what they saw in the Bengal pacer and left no stone unturned to pick him at the IPL 2023 auction, spending INR 5.5 crore to acquire his services. The Bihar-born will be eager to prove his mettle in the upcoming season of the cash-rich league.
