IPL 2017: 5 most balanced squads in the tournament

#2 Delhi Daredevils

Kagiso Rabada was Delhi’s big pick up in the auction

IPL’s perpetual underachievers, Delhi Daredevils have a good team this year. Whether Zaheer Khan, however, can lead them to some silverware is the bigger question.

On paper, they are excellent. They have two young guns in Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant, the latter recently making his T20I debut in Indian colours. They have the firepower of Quinton de Kock at the top, JP Duminy in the middle and Carlos Brathwaite in the lower order. The bowling department is in good hands as well with bowlers like Mohammad Shami, Amit Mishra, Shahbaz Nadeem and Chris Morris.

They managed to pick South African bowling sensation Kagiso Rabada at the auctions along with Pat Cummins. Throw in the Sri Lanka Test captain Angelo Mathews, an excellent all-rounder, along with New Zealand’s Corey Anderson and Delhi have a very impressive team.

With batsmen like Sanju Samson, Karun Nair and Sam Billings, Delhi have options for all conditions.
