IPL 2019: One key player for each team 

Delhi Capitals - Shikhar Dhawan

Shikhar Dhawan will be having a homecoming to Delhi this year as he returns to play for the city after a gap of 11 years. He might also be promoted to lead the side for this season as Gambhir had resigned from captaincy midway last season.

Dhawan has been an extremely consistent performer for the Indian side in the shorter formats of the game. He along with Rohit has formed a potent opening pair and both of them have performed brilliantly for the Indian team.

The Capitals have faced a number of disappointing seasons in the last few years, and they desperately need a player who could lift the spirits of the side and Dhawan might just be the right man.

Dhawan will provide solidity at the top and will help the team win a number of matches when their power players fail, something which they missed last year.
