#3 Dan Christian

It was quite surprising that Dan Christian fetched a bid of INR 1.5 crore at the auction considering he is well past his prime and not a great player of spin, a skill that is necessary in Indian conditions.
Christian flattered to deceive right from the start and played just 4 matches for the Delhi franchise, scoring 26 runs at a strike rate of 78.
He had a much better time with the ball, picking up 4 wickets but he was rather expensive as his economy rate of over 8 suggests.
Christian no longer has the ability to hit a long ball and that means his effectiveness as an allrounder is reduced, meaning Delhi are unlikely to stick with him next season.
