IPL AUCTION: AS IT HAPPENEDDavid Warner and Mitchell Marsh, the player of the T20 World Cup and player of the T20 World Cup final, are expected to make up for the lack of firepower due to the loss of Shikhar Dhawan, Shimron Hetmyer and Marcus Stoinis. But the real challenge will be to stabilize the middle-order which will help leverage their skipper Rishabh Pant to play the high-impact role. This is where the likes of KS Bharat, Mandeep Singh and Sarfaraz Khan are expected to play their roles. "One must remember Bharat played at No. 3 for RCB last year and did a very good job. He is expected to play a similar role here if needed. He is not seen just as a backup wicketkeeper to Pant," Saba Karim, DC's head of talent search, told TOI moments after the auction on Sunday evening.
