IPL 2021: 3 teams that can pick Steve Smith in the auction
Smith had a topsy-turvy campaign in 2020, both as a batsman and captain.
3. Delhi Capitals
The Delhi-based franchise had a fairytale IPL season in 2020. Although they failed to win the title, a second spot is an outstanding achievement for a team that was at the bottom half of the table for most of the time throughout the history of the tournament.
The Delhi Capitals have decided to let go, Alex Carey, the Australian vice-captain. Now, there is a spot for an overseas player who can bat at the top. If the Capitals want to include a batsman who has an immense amount of composure, they can opt for Steve Smith.
The former Australian captain can anchor the inning and play according to the situation. Currently, there is no more beautiful scene in world cricket than Smith timing the ball with elegance. Smith’s maturity might be a useful addition to a young Delhi side.
Delhi Capitals managed to reach the finals of the tournament, however, a top-order collapse meant that they never had enough runs to challenge the Mumbai Indians.
With the inclusion of Rishabh Pant, Prithvi Shaw, Marcus Stoinis, Shikhar Dhawan, and Axar Patel in the playing eleven, Smith’s ability to control and stabilize the batting unit looks priceless. Therefore, Delhi Capitals might be a team that will look to include Smith in their squad.
