5 Things Delhi Daredevils need to address before its too late

#5 Need for Wicket-taking spinners

Sandeep Lamichhane - ICC World Cup Qualifiers 2018

In the first few games, Delhi has struggled with their bowling. In the last game, though, their pace attack seemed balanced with Liam Plunkett and Avesh Khan coming to the party. Trent Boult has also been consistently performing which will give Delhi some sigh of relief. But, the problem still persists in the spin department. The veteran Amit Mishra really doesn't seem confident enough, and the other spinners, Shahbaz Nadeem and Rahul Tewatia simply don't look threatening.

Possible Solution

The role of a mystery spinner has been enormous for various teams in the IPL in the past. The likes of Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Zadran and recently, Mayank Markande are stamping their authority over the oppositions. Delhi acquired the services of the Nepalese leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane, making him the first-ever player from Nepal to play IPL. Sandeep should be given a chance ahead of Daniel Christian, in place of underperforming Amit Mishra. The slow Delhi wicket will also suit the leg-spinner and he might just bring in the X-factor in the bowling attack.
