''[[ESPNcricinfo]]''' wrote The team of Delhi Capitals wanted to buy [[Eoin Morgan]], [[Glenn Maxwell]], [[Sam Curran]], [[Pat Cummins]] and [[Jaydev Unadkat]] in the auction, but this could not happen. In such a situation, the team had to turn to other options. The team used their limited resources to dominate the home ground. No batsman of the team could bowl. However, the franchise did a good job by buying [[Shimron Hetmyer|Hetmyer]] and [[Alex Carey]].<ref>{{cite web |title=IPL auction analysis: Do the eight teams have their best XIs in place?| url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/28338426/do-eight-teams-their-best-xis-place|website=ESPN}}</ref>
