With all 4 pacers being right-arm, Delhi should add 1 or 2 left-arm fast bowlers.
They have a total of 8 bowlers, including 4 pacers and 4 spinners in the squad.
With so many bowling options, they have only 1 all-rounder (Keemo Paul), they can look for one more proper all-rounder.
They have only 6 players as specialist batsmen, including 3 openers.
They should look for couple of middle-order batsmen.
Rishabh Pant is the only wicket keeper they have, so they will look for a back up Wicket keeper.
