Strengths of Team DC
DC is one side that has several young Indian talents in the side. Prithvi Shaw, Rishabh Pant, and even the captain Shreyas Iyer are the next gen superstars of Indian cricket. With Shikhar Dhawan in the Delhi team, it adds experience to the youth.
Weaknesses of Team DC
Where DC might struggle is the absence of quality Indian pacers. None of the current active Indian pacers of limited overs cricket is in the Delhi squad. Overdependency on overseas pacers can prove to be costly.
