#2 Delhi Capitals - Trent Boult
Ad
Trent Boult
The Delhi Capitals possess feisty, experienced and deadly overseas fast bowlers in their squad roster and it's difficult to decide which one should get the nod ahead of the other. While Morris and Rabada will battle it out for a place, I personally back Trent Boult to comfortably make it to the starting XI.
Boult is a natural wicket-taker and is known for the zip he produces and the lateral movement towards the pads of a right-hander. The angle he produces as a left-arm seamer contradicts well with the direction of swing and makes life difficult for the batsman. Though there are other options, none of them can match the prowess of Boult with the new ball. Sandeep Lamichhane can be a differential option to open the bowling with his wrist-spin. The fact that he'll be available for the entire tournament further strengthens his case.
