The Delhi Daredevils had a decent outing in 2016 but missed out on the playoffs by two points. With the 2017 edition set to begin in a little over a month, Delhi will be looking to achieve their first ever IPL trophy, and with a lot of superstars on their side, the task does not seem impossible.
The team management looked to improve their bowling unit and they did so during the auction which was held in Bangalore as they purchased South Africa’s Kagiso Rabada and Australia’s Pat Cummins. They further bolstered the depth of their squad by purchasing two worthy all-rounders in Angelo Matthews and Corey Anderson.
Here is the complete squad for the Delhi Daredevils for the 2017 season: JP Duminy, Mohammed Shami, Quinton de Kock, Shahbaz Nadeem, Jayant Yadav, Amit Mishra, Shreyas Iyer, Zaheer Khan (captain), Sam Billings, Sanju Samson, Chris Morris, Carlos Brathwaite, Karun Nair, Rishabh Pant, CV Milind, Syed Ahmed, Pratyush Singh,Angelo Mathews , Corey Anderson, Kagiso Rabada, Pat Cummins, Ankit Bawne, Aditya Tare, Murugan Ashwin, Navdeep Saini, Shashank Singh.
