IPL 2021: Complete squad of Delhi Capitals after auction

Delhi Capitals had made it to their maiden IPL final in the previous season of the tournament and they will look to carry forward the same form.

The Capitals had come up with a collective effort in the last edition and they will be looking to go all the way in the competition.

Meanwhile, a total of 292 players went under the hammer on Thursday at Chennai. Out of them, 57 players were sold of which 22 were foreign players whereas 29 were uncapped players. A total of INR 145.3 crores were spent in the auction by all eight franchises collectively.

Delhi Capitals bought eight players in the auction, out of which four were uncapped Indian players. Capitals were able to rope in former Australian skipper Steve Smith for INR 2.2 crores and they will be very happy with his deal. Smith can bolster the Capitals’ middle order with his experience.
