The Englishman had his pick as he he hoped Delhi Capitals to lift the IPL 2020 trophy.

The Delhi Capitals, who are one of the three teams to not win the IPL yet, will hope to lay their hands on the coveted trophy this year. The performances of the youngsters will be key in determining how far the Delhi-based franchise goes into the tournament.  Delhi Capitals had finished third last season after losing to the eventual runners-up CSK in Qualifier 2.
