IPL 2018: Five players who are dark horses for Delhi Daredevils this season

#5 Vijay Shankar

Vijay Shankar played for SRH last year.

The form he is in lately doesn't justify what this lad from Tamil Nadu is capable of, thus making him one of the underdogs this IPL season. The all-rounder has been one of the most consistent performers in the domestic circuit for the last few years which earned him a spot in the recently concluded Nidahas Trophy.The only time he batted in the aforementioned series, he struggled a lot and scored 17 off 19 deliveries. He got a chance with the bowl in all matches but failed to capitalize. His T20 records are also not so impressive as of yet.

Last IPL season, he scored an unbeaten 63 against the Gujarat Lions and bowled only once. Considering he hasn't been in good form, there aren't a lot of expectations from him. In a team like DD that comprises of some big stars, Vijay's name is overlooked which makes him the dark horse.
