IPL 2021: Predicting where each team will finish on the points table at the end of league stage

2. Delhi Capitals

There is no doubt over the fact that the finalists of the last season, Delhi Capitals (DC) are in contention of winning their maiden IPL trophy this year. Delhi boasts of having one of the most competent squads among all the eight franchises and the picks made by them during the IPL auction ensures that the team has all the bases covered.

DC has one of the best spin attacks on their side in the form of Axar Patel, Ravi Ashwin, and Amit Mishra along with a formidable pace attack including the likes of Kagiso Rabada, Chris Woakes, Anrich Nortje, Umesh Yadav, and Ishant Sharma.

Coming to batting, the inclusion of Tom Curran and Steve Smith gives good back-up options to the team-management. The presence of Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Shimron Hetmyer, and Marcus Stoinis in the batting line-up is nothing less than a nightmare for any opposition.
