Chennai Super Kings: IPL 2024 Champions in the Making?
CSK, the ultimate master of consistency, came to the auction with a clear plan and executed it flawlessly. They nabbed some serious talent at bargain prices, like the explosive all-rounder Rachin Ravindra and the rock-solid Daryl Mitchell. But the real steals of the show were young Sameer Rizvi, a rising batting star with a penchant for sixes, and the returning hero Shardul Thakur, back in yellow for a steal!
CSK Squad:
| Player | Role | Price (Cr) |
|---|---|---|
| Ajinkya Rahane | Batsman | 6.50 |

With their batting and all-round options bolstered, CSK looks like a serious contender for the trophy this year. They’ve addressed weaknesses, injected fresh talent, and kept the core intact. Can Dhoni lead them to another title? Only time will tell!
Delhi Capitals (DC): Hope Springs Eternal, or More Disappointment?
Last year wasn’t DC’s finest, and the absence of Rishabh Pant and Warner’s struggles didn’t help. This time, however, they have reason for cautious optimism. The return of Warner and the addition of youngsters like Harry Brook could provide much-needed firepower in the batting department. But their dependence on key players like Shaw, Marsh, Lalit Yadav, and Axar Patel could be their Achilles’ heel.
DC Squad:
| Player | Role | Price (Cr) |
|---|---|---|
| David Warner | Batsman | 10.00 |
| Ricky Bhui | Batsman | 1.00 |
| Harry Brook | Batsman | 6.50 |
| Yash Dhull | Batsman | 2.00 |
| Prithvi Shaw | Batsman | 7.50 |
| Swastik Chhikara | Batsman | 1.50 |
| Abhishek Porel | WK | 1.00 |
| Shai Hope | WK | 2.00 |
| Tristan Stubbs | WK | 2.50 |
| Rishabh Pant (c) | WK | 16.00 |
| Kumar Kushagra | WK-Batsman | 7.20 |
| Lalit Yadav | All-rounder | 4.00 |
| Mitchell Marsh | All-rounder | 5.00 |
| Axar Patel | All-rounder | 12.00 |
Bowling, the Big Question Mark for DC
DC’s bowling attack has some bright spots, with Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar, and Anrich Nortje (if fit) capable of wreaking havoc. But their backups lack experience, and injuries could expose their lack of depth. If Jhye Richardson and Brook can adapt to Indian conditions and deliver consistent performances, DC might have a fighting chance. But if injuries strike or key players fail to fire, it could be another disappointing season for the Capitals.
