IPL 2019: Three reasons why the Delhi Capitals can make the Playoffs

#2 Phenomenal Bowling Unit

Chris Morris and Kagiso Rabada celebrating

The Delhi Capitals have a formidable bowling unit.

Chris Morris has an economy of 7.75 and a batting strike rate of 166.66. He possesses the ability to play the role of a finisher and a death bowler. Rabada has been quite consistent and has picked up 24 wickets out of the 18 T20Is matches that he has played in. Ishant Sharma, the latest recruitment, carries plenty of experience as he has played in the IPL right since its inception in 2008.

Lastly, their spin attack looks solid with Amit Mishra and Sandeep Lamichhane as regular slower bowlers. Last season, Sandeep Lamichhane took 5 wickets in 3 matches at a brilliant economy of 6.83 and will only thrive from a senior player such as Mishra. The veteran has amassed 134 wickets in the IPL thus far with an economy of 7.39.

Axar Patel, who was recently bought by the Capitals in the auction has ample experience due to his exploits with Kings XI Punjab. The Gujarat all-rounder has picked up 61 wickets in the IPL and has an economy of 7.52

The Delhi Capitals bowling unit lacks in no department and has covered all bases. It certainly is a mixture of experience and youth which most teams lack.
