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.
8. Kuldeep Yadav
Kuldeep Yadav was quite awful in the 2019 and 2020 seasons for Kolkata Knight Riders, picking up only five wickets in a total of 14 games. Delhi Capitals roped in the Indian spinner at the 2022 mega auction for INR 2 crore and entrusted him to lead the spin attack. It was a great opportunity for the 28-year-old to redeem himself.
The left-arm wrist spinner was simply magnificent for his new franchise. Kuldeep bamboozled batters with his variations and was the wrecker-in-chief in the middle phases of the innings. He featured in 14 matches and bagged 21 wickets an economy of 8.44.
Kuldeep has also been astonishing in the international arena this calendar year. The ace spinner has played eight ODIs and taken 12 scalps at an economy of 4.95. Also, he made a spectacular comeback to Test cricket, picking up eight wickets in the first game of the recently concluded two-match Test series against Bangladesh. The Kanpur-born would look to set IPL 2023 alight with his bowling exploits.
