IPL Auction 2019: Rating the teams based on their performance in the auction

Delhi Capitals

Unlike the previous IPL auctions, Delhi Capital did a good job at the auction as they addressed all the areas that needed attention. With a solid top-order at their disposal, they needed a middle-order batsman at number 5 or 6 to finish the innings for them.

They exactly got not one but two players for that as they signed veteran South African batsman Colin Ingram for 6.4 crores and West Indian batsman Sherfane Rutherford for 2 crores.

Adding to these names, they signed all-rounder Axar Patel for 5 crores, Hanuma Vihari for 2 crores, Ishant Sharma for 1.1 crores etc. With some shrewd signings in the auction, Delhi have a very good squad at their disposal.
