IPL 2016 Delhi Daredevils Predicted XI

6) Pawan Negi, Age: 23

Negi has played for Delhi in the past and this will be his second coming

Pawan Negi must have gone into the World T20 on a high. And why not? He was bought by Delhi for a staggering 8.5 crores, the highest for an Indian and the second highest overall behind Shane Watson at 9.5 Crore. He then sat on the sidelines for the entire tournament as India got dumped out by the West Indies. He will have a point to prove.

I repeat, 8.5 crores –

Delhi buys Pawan Negi for 850 lacs. It looks like they expect him to bowl, bat, field, keep wickets and also lower the pollution in Delhi.

Pawan Negi thrived under the able leadership of MS Dhoni at the very successful Chennai Super Kings franchise. His price tag indicates the Delhi Daredevils have big plans for him and are expecting him to be one of the most important players for the team.

7) Carlos Brathwaite, Age: 27

SIX, SIX, SIX, SIX. JUBILATION!

What a couple of months it has been for the big man from Barbados. There was shock when Carlos Brathwaite was picked up for 4.2 crores by the Delhi Daredevils. The shock no better portrayed than by the man himself who aptly said on the day -

Cut forward two months and he is the man of the moment having smacked 4 big sixes in the last overs to lift West Indies to their second WT20 title. He might just add the lacking ‘X factor’ to the squad this season and his presence is a big boost for the Daredevils. He will be making his debut in the IPL this season.
