3. Axar Patel

Axar Patel amassed a total of 182 runs in 13 matches, with both his average of 45.5 and his strike rate of 151.67 being the highest they’ve ever been in a campaign. Axar could fill the void with his left-hand batting and could prove to be a valuable asset for Delhi in the upcoming season.

Delhi are without their first-choice wicketkeeper in Pant and shoeing in Phil Salt without hampering the team combination would be a huge challenge. This is where Sarfaraz Khan, with his part-time wicket-keeping skills could eliminate many of Delhi’s problems..

1. David Warner

Out of all the options, Warner should be the front-runner for the role.

He is the perfect batter to lead the team from the top of the batting order.
