As the stage is set for the Indian Premier League auction (IPL auction 2024), franchises are actively finalizing their potential shopping lists. Scheduled to take place on December 19 at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, teams, including the Delhi Capitals, are gearing up for the upcoming season.
Following a four-day camp in Kolkata, the Delhi Capitals have nearly concluded their preparations for the auction. Notably, after parting ways with key middle-order players, DC is likely in search of viable options for those positions. Additionally, Rishabh Pant‘s return as captain is expected to enhance their ability to build the best possible team for the upcoming season.
The Delhi Capitals (DC) could have their sights set on Matthew Short in the upcoming IPL auction in 2024 due to his impressive recent performances. Short’s noteworthy statistics make him an appealing prospect for the franchise. In the Australia ODI Cup, he showcased his prowess with 215 runs in just two innings, boasting an impressive strike rate of 114.97.
Moreover, his impactful stint in the MLC in 2023, where he accumulated 152 runs across six innings at a strike rate of 125.65, adds to his appeal. The dynamic middle-order batsman’s ability to accelerate the run rate and contribute consistently makes him a potential key player for DC in the upcoming IPL season.
