IPL 2019: 3 reasons why Delhi Capitals could be the dark horses in the upcoming season of the IPL                  

#3. Experienced international players:

Munro is an explosive batsman at the top of the order for Delhi Capitals

Colin Munro is the only cricketer to score 3 centuries in T20 Internationals. The opener from New Zealand is an aggressive batsman at the top of the order and is a nightmare for the bowlers when in full flow. Munro has not been able to set the stage on fire in IPL so far and in 8 innings has scored only 93 runs. The fact that he scores runs at a strike rate of 162 in T 20 internationals makes him an asset at the top of the order for Delhi Capitals.

If Colin Munro fails to fire at the top of the order, Delhi Capitals have an option to replace him with Colin Ingram. The 33-year-old South African is a handy batsman at the T20 level and in 226 T20 matches, he has scored 5683 runs with 4 centuries and 36 half centuries. The experience of having Ingram in the playing 11 will be vital for young players like Shaw and Pant.

Chris Morris is an experienced player who has tasted success at the T 20 level all over the world. The 31-year-old all-rounder from South Africa has in 101 innings at the T20 level scored runs at an average of 25.05 and strike rate of 154.83. He has 199 wickets to his credit. Morris is an asset for any team and will look to establish himself as one of the four foreign players in the playing 11.

Delhi will have to choose between Lamichhane, Boult, and Rabada for the remaining two places of foreign players in the playing 11.

All in all the Delhi Capitals team is a well-balanced team who has the right mix of Indian as well as foreign players who have tasted success at the international level. Delhi will look to break the jinx of not playing an IPL final and will look to take a step forward and lift the IPL trophy this time around.
