Best Overseas Player Combination: Colin Ingram, Chris Morris, Trent Boult and Sandeep Lamichhane

Chris Morris will be the side's X-Factor

The Delhi Capitals were busy during the auction, and they have built a potent side with lot of young talent. They picked the right overseas players and have adequate backup for the stars who will leave midway during the tournament.

But they have a problem of too many, as it will be a headache to decide what their best overseas combination is.

Colin Ingram, their most expensive buy, should occupy himself in the top order along with Rishabh Pant, Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan and Shreyas Iyer.

Sandeep Lamichchane has been a revelation in T20s and just like Mujeeb Ur Rahman for Kings XI Punjab, is too good to kept on the sidelines. Among the others, picking Trent Boult and Chris Morris seems like the best bet as this would ensure good team balance and not overloading on pacers.

Hanuma Vihari, Axar Patel and Morris would form a good middle order, and the bowling will be set too. But the side mustn't hesitate to drop Lamichhane if the pitch doesn't suit spinners, as they have got two quality spinners in Axar and Amit Mishra.
