The Delhi Capitals franchise became the first team to get eliminated from the IPL this season. The performance of the Delhi Capitals this season was no better than its overall performances in all seasons of the Indian Premier League. Over the years, the Capitals often languished at the bottom of the points table. In this article, we have listed out the top 5 players who are likely to get released by the franchise for the 17th edition of the cash-rich league due to their poor performances.
This 16th edition of the IPL went really badly for the star batter Shaw. The disastrous form of the right-hand batsman resulted in him playing as less as 6 matches for his franchise. Shaw has participated for the Capitals in a total of 6 matches and has been able to score minimal 47 runs with a highest score of 15. Considering his performances, there are high chances that the Delhi Capitals might release him for the upcoming season of IPL.
- Sarfaraz Khan
Another young star batter Sarfaraz Khan has failed to bring any impact with his bat for the Capitals this season. The right-hand batter has got 4 matches on his account for this season. In all four matches, Khan could not perform as per expectations and scored minimal 53 runs for his franchise. He is also on the verge of getting released.
The South African tall pacer who established himself as the leading pace bowler for his national team was acquired by the Delhi Capitals for the 16th season. The pacer did not get even a single match to play in this season. There are high chances that the Capitals may snub him for the upcoming season.
- Rovman Powell
Delhi Capitals acquired the services of West Indian all-rounder Rovman Powell. The debut season went really well for the all-rounder but in the 16th edition of the league, Powell failed to bring any impact with his presence and could add mere 4 runs with his bat and 1 wicket with the ball.
South African left-hand batter holds a good record in the short format of different leagues. Rossouw was acquired by the Delhi Capitals franchise for this season in the hope to come up with great performances. However, the season has been disastrous for the left-hander. His performance might make him get released by his franchise in the upcoming season.
