Mumbai Indians’ most successful bowler during the first season was bought by the Delhi Daredevils in the second season. It did not make any difference to Nehra’s performance as he continued his fine form with Delhi.

Nehra was assigned to lead the pace attack and he didn't disappoint the management. He scalped 19 wickets from 13 matches and was one of the major reasons why Delhi Daredevils finished at the top of the points table in the second season.

His ability to break partnerships and contain runs at the end helped the Delhi Daredevils in restricting the opposition. Nehra along with Pradeep Sangwan and Dirk Nannes, picked up 49 wickets. Nehra ended up as the third highest wicket-taker in the second season of IPL.
