IPL 2020: Team-wise one batsman who can opt for mid-season transfer
To add more spice and excitement to the league, IPL has come up with the mid-season transfer policy.
4. Delhi Capitals- Alex Carey
Alex Carey over the last 18 months or so has established himself as one of the mainstays of the Australian limited-overs team. When Delhi picked him up for just 2.4 crores in the auction, it appeared to be a great buy. But it is unlikely he is going to get an opportunity in Delhi’s jam-packed batting order.
Carey is calm and composed at the crease and has the ability to grind it out as well play the big shots. While he hasn’t got enough opportunities to represent the men in yellow in T20s, he had a breakthrough BBL season in 2018, scoring 459 runs in 12 innings at an average of 41.7 and strike rate of 135. For Delhi, he was seen to be the direct replacement of Colin Ingram who played for them in 2019.
However, Delhi has preferred to play Shimron Hetmyer over Carey, and with Marcus Stoinis’ form, Delhi has played Hetmyer as a floater, paying him at 5-6. While Shimron hasn’t returned excellent dividends, he is naturally a more explosive player than Carey. With Delhi winning consistently, it is unlikely the management would want to tinker with the winning combination either. Due to these reasons, Carey is an attractive option for trade.
