Delhi capitals have put together a strong squad for IPL 2020
Pietersen had played for the Delhi-based franchise before and therefore felt a connection with the team. Although the name has changed from Delhi Daredevils to Delhi Capitals, his loyalty still seems to lie with the franchise.
Delhi Capitals have put together a really strong squad for IPL 2020. The trades of Ajinkya Rahane and Ravichandran Ashwin into the side have added to the depth in the Indian batting and spin bowling department respectively.
