1. Ajinkya Rahane
The former Rajasthan Royals skipper has a new home now. With tons of experience under his belt, both as a player and a captain, he has a huge role to play in the top-order to give some reliable start to the team and handle challenging situations with ease. He can also be helpful to Shreyas Iyer in of decision making while in pressure situations. He also has a lot to prove to the selectors to make a comeback into the limited-overs format, keeping in mind the consecutive T20 World Cups in the next two years.
2. Ravichandran Ashwin
One of India’s best-ever off-spinners, Ravichandran Ashwin has been a find from the IPL when he first played for Chennai Super Kings. Having to lead the Kings XI Punjab previously, he will also have a crucial role in putting forward suggestions to Shreyas Iyer for the team’s development. Ashwin will also play an essential role in the DC bowling group with all his experience over the years. He only adds up to the experience of the team besides Dhawan, Rahane & Ishant Sharma.
