IPL 2019: What should be Delhi Capitals' ideal playing XI

Spinner - Amit Mishra

Amit Mishra

Amit Mishra is one of the most underrated and underappreciated players in IPL history. He has continued to be prolific in terms of performance. He picked up 12 wickets in 10 matches with a great economy of 7.13 in 2018 and he has been doing well in the domestic circuit. He will be of prime importance this season and is most likely to partner up with Axar Patel as spinners. If needed, the impressive Sandeep Lamichhane can be given an opportunity to play.

Fast Bowlers - Kagiso Rabada and Trent Boult

Kagiso Rabada

If there is one area where Delhi seem to be lacking, it's experienced or quality Indian pacers. Sure, they signed Ishant Sharma but let's be honest, the T20 value of Ishant Sharma declined long ago. And with two inexperienced pacers in Avesh Khan and Harshal Patel, they can do worse than playing their two best pacers, despite them being overseas players.

Kagiso Rabada has been a menace when he has bowled in Indian conditions. Trent Boult has always been a big asset to Delhi and if these two combine, Delhi could potentially possess the strongest pace attack in the league.

One reason why this might work is that Morris and Rabada have to leave midway through the tournament and once they leave, the other inexperienced bowlers can get their chance. The Delhi Capitals can therefore ensure that the potential of all their bowlers is harnessed to the greatest extent possible.
