IPL 2024: Who has replaced Harry Brook in Delhi Capitals' squad?

Harry Brook was signed by DC for INR 4 crores at the IPL 2024 auction.

Delhi Capitals (DC) were handed a huge blow when their big signing in the recent auction for the IPL 2024, England batter Harry Brook pulled out of the tournament. He did so because of the death of his grandmother and he wanted some time alone with the family.

His grandmother’s poor health had led to Brook pulling out of England’s recent India test tour as well, where the visitors lost the five-match test series 1-4.

Brook confirmed before the season began that he would not be heading to India for his second IPL season. The Capitals purchased brook for Rs 4 crores at an auction in Dubai.

Delhi have had a poor start to their IPL 2024 campaign, losing four of their first five matches. The Capitals are at the bottom of the points chart since their NRR plummeted after they conceded more than 200 in their last two games.

On Sunday, April 8, Kolkata scored 272 runs in Vizag and defeated Delhi by 106 runs, while Mumbai scored 234 runs and won by 29 runs at the Wankhede Stadium.
