IPL 2020: 3 areas where Delhi Capitals must improve

2. Middle-order batsmen

Eoin Morgan could provide much needed stability at the #5 position

Another aspect that Delhi seemed to struggle with last year was that their batting seemed to fall off a cliff after Pant's departure. Colin Ingram's arrival at 5 didn't help (184 runs in 12 innings with no fifties), and with Sherfane Rutherford traded to Mumbai Indians, Delhi seem thin in the middle order.

Whilst Delhi could potentially play Rahane, Iyer and Pant at 3, 4 and 5, it is more likely that they would be looking at Rahane strictly as an opener. Additionally, they have got no back-ups in the position.

The player that they would covet the most for this area is Eoin Morgan. The Irish-born England captain is going through a purple patch with the bat. He is a level-headed cricketer who can both play the role of an anchor in case of a batting collapse or go hammer and tongs in case the team needs a strong finish.

Whilst Morgan's IPL record isn't the strongest, his current form and experience would make him an attractive option at #5. Other options include Shimron Hetmyer, Ross Taylor and JP Duminy.
