RASSIE VAN DER DUSSEN

KARTIK TYAGI
Delhi Capitals have lacked variety in their bowling attack. They have a dearth of options as far in terms of left-handed bowlers. Kartik Tyagi is regarded as one of the rising stars of Indian Cricket. However, his current franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad has not been able to use him efficiently, as they have a pool of other Indian bowlers. As a result, most likely, SRH would release Kartik Tyagi. Delhi would surely look to target him in the upcoming IPL 2023 auction.
BEN CUTTING
Ben Cutting was listed for a base price of 75 lakhs, but he went unsold in the IPL 2022 mega auction. He is a very handy player who can play the role of a finisher for DC. His strike rate of close to 170 is among the best in the IPL.

Ben Cutting can also provide the 5th bowler option for Delhi Capitals. His deceptive slower deliveries can prove to be very handy on the slow wickets in India. Delhi Capitals will look to rope in a few quality all-rounders, and Ben Cutting can be a good option for them in IPL 2023 auction.
KANE RICHARDSON
Kane Richardson is one of the highly respected players in the T20 format. Although the national team has sidelined him for some time, he is still preferred in club cricket across the globe. Kane Richardson went unsold in the IPL 2022 mega auction, as his base price of 1.5 cr was something the IPL franchises refused to entertain.
Kane is a very good death bowler who can hit the deck very hard. His off-cutter and change-up deliveries are also very effective. Apart from Anrich Nortje, DC lack other good foreign bowlers. Kane Richardson can fulfill this need for them in IPL 2023 auction.
