Marcus Stoinis was a breakthrough purchase for the Capitals this season. Every time the team found itself in a crunch situation, the mercurial Aussie all-rounder rose up to the challenge and delivered some crucial, match-defining performances, both with the bat and the ball.
Given how big an asset Stoinis has been for the Capitals this season, it’s not too far-fetched to think that he can establish himself as one of their core players for the upcoming auction cycles. In such a scenario, DC will want to ensure that they have their back-up bases covered in case there’s any injury to their MVP.
That’s where Colin de Grandhomme perfectly welds himself into Delhi’s scheme of things. In recent years, the Zimbabwe-born New Zealand player has been one of the finest all-rounders in limited-overs cricket.
Colin’s ability to tonk the ball hard (T20 strike rate of 161.23) and provide key bowling breakthroughs make him a like-for-like back-up option for Stoinis, one that Delhi would be eager to acquire for the next season.
