Delhi Daredevils
Prediction: outside top-4
Delhi Daredevils are probably the biggest underachievers in the IPl's history and it has never been due to shortage of talent. This year the team has invested heavily in the bowling stocks resulting in a very impressive bowling line-up. They possesses arguably the two most exciting young fast bowlers in Pat Cummins and Kagiso Rabada. Backing these two up would be the old fox and skipper Zaheer Khan, Chris Morris and Mohammed Shami. Daredevils have two good spinners in Jayant Yadav and Amit Mishra. The batting department is less star-studded and is relying more on talented youngsters. Sam Billings is an exciting young prospect from England. Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Karun Nair, Sanju Samson are highly regarded Indian prodigies. Angelo Matthews is the unofficial leader of the batting line up with his experience while big-hitters Corey Anderson and Carlos Braithwaite are the danger men other teams need to be wary of.
