IPL 2020: SWOT Analysis of Delhi Capitals

DC in IPL 2020: Opportunities

Rishabh Pant needs to have a good IPL

#1 All of DC's Indian players have a point to prove

Shikhar Dhawan's place in the limited-overs setups is under threat from a variety of players, and he is almost completely out of the reckoning for a Test spot. The southpaw will be keen on establishing himself as a regular in the Indian team again with his performances in IPL 2020.

Shreyas Iyer has all but sealed the No. 4 spot in the Indian ODI team, but with the T20 World Cup round the corner and the ICC Test Championship in full swing, he will want to do the same in all three formats. The Delhi youngster will also look to establish himself as a candidate to take over the Indian captaincy from Virat Kohli.

Rishabh Pant's spot in the national side has been under major scrutiny, and he will want to prove to the selectors that he is the right man to replace the recently retired MS Dhoni.

Similarly, Ashwin, Shaw, Mishra and Axar all have points to prove with respect to their international careers. This bunch of highly motivated players will have the opportunity to showcase their wares in IPL 2020.

#2 DC can finally establish themselves as an IPL powerhouse

DC are the only team to have played every single IPL season and not reach the final, and they will be intent on breaking this unwanted record this year.

The franchise has faced criticism from all corners over their time in the tournament, and IPL 2020 presents the perfect opportunity for them to establish themselves as a team that has to be taken seriously.

With a solid young core and a smart support staff including former Australian captain Ricky Ponting, DC might finally turn a corner in IPL 2020.
