SQUAD-

My Views-

             This season, Delhi Daredevil's top order is looking well balanced, but they need to be consistent. Murali Vijay, Dinesh Kartik, Manoj Tiwary, KP, Ross Taylor are in the top order while JP Duminy and James Neesham will be coming in to explode in the death overs. Strong batting line up will lead to slightly weaker bowling line up with not a single foreigner premieum bowler in the team. With the ball, KP will have to depend on, Mohammad Shami, young Siddharth Kaul, Jaydev Unadkat and one of the spinners either Rahul Sharma or Shahbaz Nadeem. 
             If they decide to play an experienced foreign fast bowler then they will have to drop JP Duminy and Jaydev Unadkat and instead pick up Wayne Parnell and either Kedar Jadhav or Saurabh Tiwary.

According to me, DD's playing XI will mostly be as follows:-

1. Murali Vijay
2. Dinesh Kartik
3. Kevin Pieterson
4. Manoj Tiwary
5. Ross Taylor
6. JP Duminy/Kedar Jadhav
7. James Neesham
8. Jaydev Unadkat/Wayne Parnell
9. Shahbaz Nadeem/Rahul Sharma
10. Mohammad Shami
11. Siddharth Kaul
