South African speedster Kagiso Rabada feels a new look Delhi Capitals has the potential to be a "powerhouse" in the future editions of the Indian Premier League.
Rabada re-united with his Delhi Capitals' teammates on Friday as they prepare to take on the Mumbai Indians in their first match of the season at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.
The 23-year-old, who arrived in the country after helping his national team beat Sri Lanka 5-0 in the recently-concluded ODI series, is looking forward to playing a crucial part this season.
"I think we have put together a great squad this time around. It is a fairly young squad and I feel there is a good mixture of overseas players along with the Indian players," he said.
"We have some very exciting spinners as well along with good batsmen. Of course, the pace bowling is going to be one of our strengths and I am really looking forward to playing a part in my team's success this season."
Rabada said he is excited to see the progress of the team this season.
"We know that the name of the franchise has changed and we will be playing in new colours. We have a new slate with new goals on it and I am excited to see how Delhi Capitals is growing to progress this season," he said.
"What is essential is that it's a fairly young team that has kind of stuck together through a couple of seasons, and is now growing together to get valuable experience. I think we have the potential to be a powerhouse in the future," Rabada added.
