10 players you might not know played for Delhi Daredevils

6. Siddharth Kaul (2013-2014)

Siddharth Kaul

In 2013, 23-year-old Siddharth Kaul made his IPL debut for Delhi Daredevils. He was picked by Kolkata Knight Riders in the 2012 auction but never got a single game for them.

Finally, he got his first match for DD in 2013. However, his time in the DD camp wasn’t very memorable. He was only given 6 matches to showcase his skills, which wasn’t enough considering his level of experience.

He picked up 4 wickets in these 6 games with an economy of 7.78. This seems to be a trend that Delhi follows every year where they prematurely drop a player only after a couple of games.

In 2014 season, he played fewer matches. In the 5 matches he played, he only scalped 2 wickets at an economy rate of 9.69.

He was dropped the following year only to return 2 years later wearing the Sunrisers Hyderabad jersey. This time he was a seasoned campaigner in the domestic circuit and was given a chance to shine. He has been getting better each year, which makes us wonder what would’ve happened had he stayed with the Delhi Daredevils for a couple more years.
