IPL 2018: 3 players who can replace the injured Kagiso Rabada at Delhi Daredevils

South Africa v Sri Lanka - 2nd ODI
Kagiso Rabada

#2 James Faulkner

James Faulkner

James Faulkner, one of Australia's best all-rounders, has been out of Australia's international team for a while now. Faulkner was the Man of the Match in the World Cup 2015 final where he clinched three wickets, and he was a mainstay in the Rajasthan Royals squad for many years, winning several matches for the franchise.

Faulkner, who played for Gujarat Lions in the previous two seasons, has lately been ineffective on Indian soil and that was one of the biggest reasons why he went unsold in the IPL Auction this year. Still, he is a potent option for Delhi Daredevils who lack an experienced death overs' fast bowler after the injury to Rabada.

The Australian has played in 159 T20 matches and has taken 176 wickets at an economy of 7.94.

Delhi Daredevils could look to sign the Australian all-rounder to add depth to their batting lineup on top of his bowling duties.
