3. Anrich Nortje- Delhi Capitals
The South African pacer came into this IPL as a replacement to the English all-rounder Chris Woakes for the Delhi Capitals. This was his maiden IPL season as he missed the previous edition due to an injury when picked by the Kolkata Knight Riders.
Pairing up with his national team-mate Kagiso Rabada, Nortje is producing raw pace on the UAE pitches and is troubling the batsman with his variations. In 10 matches he played in this season so far, Nortje picked up 14 wickets at an economy of 7.65 and played a crucial role in the team’s success with the ball this season.
In case of a mega auction, the Delhi based franchise will retain their captain Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant and their star-pacer Kagiso Rabada. They might or might not use the RTM card on Nortje as they can use it for Shikar Dhawan and Prithwi Shaw and the time will tell us about this.
