Delhi Capitals can consider themselves to have done well in IPL 2024. They started on a poor note but they picked up some crucial points in the middle and were firmly in the race to make it to the playoffs. However, they slipped in the last few games and hence, had to miss out. Nevertheless, they discovered some youngsters, who will do well for them in the future. A few other cricketers could have got some games. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three Delhi Capitals cricketers who deserved to play a game in IPL 2024.
1) Yash Dhull
Yash Dhull is a highly-rated cricketer at the domestic level. Yes, he had a forgettable domestic season but he has the skills to do well.
Hence, with some players such as David Warner and Prithvi Shaw struggling in the top-order, Yash could have got a chance. He is someone who can come good if given a run of games.
2) Praveen Dubey
Praveen Dubey is one of the Delhi Capitals cricketers who deserved to play a game in IPL 2024. He has been with Delhi Capitals for a while now. However, he is not getting to play frequently.
Praveen is a wily leg-spinner from Karnataka. He can also bat well. When Kuldeep Yadav was unavailable, Praveen should have got a chance to prove his skills. However, he could not get it.
3) Swastik Chikara
It was actually a surprise that Delhi could not afford a single game for Swastik Chikara. The youngster from Uttar Pradesh has a high ceiling when it comes to power-hitting.
The likes of Lalit Yadav and Kumar Kushagra were not at their best in IPL 2024. In this regard, Swastik could have got a game or two to showcase his skills. This experience would have also helped him in the upcoming domestic season.
