IPL 2020: Delhi Capitals strongest possible lineup

Middle Order - Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer (c), and Rishabh Pant (wk)

Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant will form the team's core

It was surprising to see the Delhi Capitals bidding so aggressively for Shimron Hetmyer because they do not seem to have an empty spot in their top five.

Ajinkya Rahane is the perfect number three batsman for T20 cricket as the former Rajasthan Royals skipper can anchor the innings very well.

Skipper Shreyas Iyer finds the number four position to be the most suitable for him as he can express himself and play his natural game there. He comes in at two-down in international cricket as well. Hence, he can enhance his batting style by continuing to bat at the number four position for his franchise.

India's upcoming wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant will bat at number five for the Delhi Capitals. In case the situation demands, the team can even promote him to the top. He can change the game with his big shots and has unbelievable hitting power. He holds the record for the highest individual IPL score by an Indian batsman and will be a valuable player for his home franchise.
