2. Karun Nair (Middle order Batter)
DC’s batting lineup is packed to the brim with star players. The middle order will most likely consist of the likes of Axar Patel, Tristan Stubbs and David Miller with Ashutosh Sharma and Vipraj Nigam as finishers. This does not bode well with Karun Nair, who might not break into the playing XI from the get-go.
DC have also traded in Nitish Rana from Rajasthan Royals, who can play as a floater for the franchise, a role he is quite used to playing in the IPL before for Kolkata Knight Riders.
Nair played eight times for DC last year and scored 198 runs at a strike-rate above 170. However, his recent T20 form has been poor, scoring just 71 runs from six matches in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
