The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/">Indian Premier League</a> since its inception has primarily seen two teams dominate the tournament. With Mumbai Indians winning the trophy a record five times and the Chennai Super Kings four times, these two franchises usually start every season as favourites. However, there have been certain teams who have been so close yet so far in their pursuit of winning the tournament. One such team, Delhi Capitals, have shown great potential in recent years.

They have played brilliantly to make it to the playoffs in all of the last three seasons. The 2020 finalists, however, have just not been able to take that last leap towards glory. However, post the conclusion of the 2022 mega auction, the Capitals will be optimistic about their chances of breaking this jinx and winning their maiden IPL title.

DC retained a majority of its Indian core before heading into the auctions. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/rishabh-pants-murderous-counter-attack-is-now-a-signature-style/">Rishabh Pant</a> (Rs 16 crore), Axar Patel (Rs 9 crore), Prithvi Shaw (Rs 7.5 crore) and Anrich Nortje (Rs 6.5 crore) were their four retentions. They then went on to make some significant buys at the auction table.

The Capitals shelled out a massive Rs 10.75 crore for Indian bowler Shardul Thakur, making him their costliest buy. They also purchased some overseas cricketers such as Mitchell Marsh (Rs 6.50 crore), David Warner (Rs 6.25 crore), Rovman Powell (Rs 2.8 crore) and Mustafizur Rahman (Rs 2 crore). The franchisee further purchased some recognized Indian options in Khaleel Ahmed (Rs 5.2 crore) Chetan Sakariya (Rs 4.2 crore) and Kuldeep Yadav (Rs 2 crore) amongst others.

Here&#8217;s the full Delhi Capitals Squad:

Prithvi Shaw, Anrich Nortje, Rishabh Pant (c), Axar Patel, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Shardul Thakur, Mustafizur Rahman, Kuldeep Yadav, Ashwin Hebbar, Sarfaraz Khan, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, KS Bharat, Mandeep Singh, Khaleel Ahmed, Chetan Sakariya, Lalit Yadav, Ripal Patel, Yash Dhull, Rovman Powell, Pravin Dubey, Lungi Ngidi, Tim Seifert, Vicky Ostwal

Here&#8217;s a SWOT Analysis of the DC squad for IPL2022:

Strengths: Explosive batting lineup

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-504076" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Prithvi-Shaw-1.jpg" alt="Prithvi Shaw" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-504076" class="wp-caption-text">Prithvi Shaw. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

The Delhi Capitals has with them arguably one of the most destructive batting lineups in the upcoming season. The team that has relied on the tactic of having hard-hitting players right through their batting order in the previous few seasons have once again nailed this very strategy.

In Prithvi Shaw and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/pak-vs-aus-david-warner-entertains-rawalpindi-crowd-with-punjabi-dance-moves-on-field/">David Warner</a>, the Capitals have as good an opening combo as any in the tournament. The duo opening the innings together will check several boxes. They form a potent left-right batting combination. They are both aggressive in the powerplay and they both are proven batters having done exceptionally well in their time so far at the IPL.

However, DC is one of the few teams that have quality hard-hitting batters coming to the crease one after the other. Their skipper Rishabh Pant is one of the most sought-after crickets globally at the time. Pant is a batter who can take on any bowling attack and win games single-handedly. Mitchell Marsh has probably been the most consistent T20 batter in the world in recent times. He can bat up the order or finish innings equally well.  Rovman Powell recently showed what he is capable of in his recent outing for the West Indies against India. Thus, a batting set-up of such quality can easily hunt any target down and also post huge scores on the board when batting first.

Weaknesses &#8211; Lack of spin bowling options

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-255310" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Kuldeep-Yadav-2.jpg" alt="Kuldeep Yadav" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-255310" class="wp-caption-text">Kuldeep Yadav of Kolkata Knight Riders celebrates. (Photo by Kuntal Chakrabarty/IANS)</figcaption>

The side that boasted of some quality spinners in their team over the last couple of seasons is a little weak in the department for the 2022 season. Having let go of R Ashwin and Amit Mishra, Delhi have lost out on the valuable experience that those cricketers brought to the side.

Though they have retained left-arm orthodox bowler Axar Patel, who has done well for them in the past, the Capitals do lack a spinner that can run through sides on his day. Left-arm chinaman bowler <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ind-vs-sl-axar-patel-joins-team-india-squad-ahead-of-2nd-test-kuldeep-yadav-released/">Kuldeep Yadav</a> is another talented bowler that they have in their squad. However, Yadav’s performance has been on a decline at the IPL in the recent past. Having not been in the best of forms, he often appears to be lacking confidence when a batter goes after him.

Apart from Patel and Yadav, the Delhi Capitals do not have too many proven spinners in their squad, which could come to haunt them given how much the wickets in India support spin bowling.

Opportunities &#8211; Plenty of all-rounders in the squad

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-560317" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Delhi-Capitals.jpg" alt="Delhi Capitals" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-560317" class="wp-caption-text">Delhi Capitals. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

Every good T2o team has multiple options in their dugout when it comes to all-rounders. The Delhi Capitals have done well in that regard, having roped in the likes of Mitchell Marsh, Rovman Powell and Lalit Yadav apart from <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ind-vs-sl-axar-patel-joins-team-india-squad-ahead-of-2nd-test-kuldeep-yadav-released/">Axar Patel</a>.

Marsh, who is primarily a batter, can be more than handy with his medium-fast bowling as is the case with Powell. They both have a much-in-demand skill being seam bowling all-rounders. On a day when one of the regular bowlers is having a bad day, both Marsh and Powell can chip in with the ball and ease the pressure of their captain.

Axar is a proven spinner who has also shown glimpses of his skills with the bat in hand. The left-handed batter has the capability of playing the second fiddle to a set batter and can also take the charge with his more than decent stroke-making when needed. Thus, with these many options in hand, Delhi Capitals are always in the game even if the famed top-order fails or on a day when they are struggling with the ball.

Threats &#8211; Vulnerable to batting collapses

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-561617" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Delhi-Capitals-1.jpg" alt="Delhi Capitals" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-561617" class="wp-caption-text">Delhi Capitals.

Though the Capitals have a very able batting lineup, they could sometimes be made to miss batters who can play an anchor role in certain scenarios. Now and then the opposition will post a total on the board that could seem tricky as it might not be too big or too small.

Such run chases usually work out well when the chasing side has a batter who can play right through the innings without taking too many chances. In all the explosive batters that the Capitals possess, they might find themselves in certain situations where they need less aggression and more calmness.

The role of an anchor is a very crucial one as they can steady the ship if early wickets fall upfront. Most of the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/dc-delhi-capitals/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DC</a> batters like to take on the bowling right from the word go and can sometimes lack patience. Thus, the probability of such a method triggering an odd batting collapse is high when the team lacks a player who can prevent it from happening.

Delhi Capitals will be led by Rishabh Pant in their pursuit of winning their maiden IPL title.

IPL 2022: SWOT Analysis of Delhi Capitals (DC)

Delhi Capitals are one of the only few teams to have played in all 14 seasons of the IPL but are yet to win their maiden title.
