IPL Auction 2020: One Batsman who each team must look to sign

Delhi Capitals- Eoin Morgan

Morgan is a great striker of the ball.

The Delhi Capitals were very active during the trade window and added ace Indian players Ajinkya Rahane and Ravichandran Ashwin to their roster. They released a lot of overseas players and this included Chris Morris, Colin Ingram, and Colin Munro. They have a strong Indian batting line-up but lack a strong No.5 or middle-order batsman and must target England skipper Eoin Morgan at the auction.

Eoin Morgan has played in close to 280 T20s scoring more than 6100 runs at a good strike-rate of 131.37. He also led the Delhi Bulls in the Abu Dhabi T10 League where he scored 175 runs in 6 matche at an astounding strike-rate of 186.17. He also finished as the second-highest run-scorer in the T20I series against New Zealand where he scored 192 runs from 5 matches averaging 48.00 at a strike-rate of 193.93

One of the most experienced T20 batsmen in the world, Morgan went unsold last season after setting himself a base price of ₹2 Crore. But his recent form and his exploits in the World Cup might result in huge bids for him at the auction. And the Capitals have a huge purse for this auction and can afford him.

He can play the role of both anchor and aggressor and is known for his great ball-striking abilities. He can provide both stability and firepower to the Delhi middle order and also adds value with his leadership skills and should be signed by Delhi.
