3 Players DC might release ahead of IPL 2024

Delhi Capitals (DC) played the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 edition under David Warner’s captaincy, with Rishabh Pant staying away from cricketing action due to a major accident in December 2022. Under the veteran Australia player, DC produced their worst performance in the last four years. 

The 2020 IPL runners-up ended up in the ninth position on the points table with five wins and nine losses in 14 games. Considering their team’s dismal performance in the 16th IPL edition, the DC team management will look to part ways with some players who failed to play their part efficiently.

Here are three players DC might release before IPL 2023

3. Rovman Powell

Rovman Powell got three games in the IPL 2023 installment, and he didn’t look confident with his bat. The right-handed batter scored only seven runs in three innings at a strike rate of 77.77. After the Mumbai Indians (MI) match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, he didn’t get a chance to play any game for DC.

Playing against the five-time champions, Powell gave his wicket to Piyush Chawla after contributing only four runs to his team. Following this failure, captain Warner preferred the South Africa batter Rilee Rossouw over the West Indies stalwart to fill the number four spot.

Powell struggled to be among the runs in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2023 as well, scoring only 193 runs for Barbados Royals in nine matches at an average of 32.16. Noting his underwhelming numbers, the DC team management might not include him in their retention list for IPL 2024.
