IPL 2017: Know your team - Strengths, Weaknesses and Key Performance Indicators

Delhi Daredevils

The Daredevils’ fast bowling is their biggest strength

Strength: Bowling attack

It remains to be seen how Delhi balance their overseas players. But with Chris Morris, Pat Cummins and Kagiso Rabada in their squad alongside Mohammad Shami and Amit Mishra, their bowling attack has enormous potential.

Weakness: Top order batting

After the withdrawals of Quinton de Kock and JP Duminy, Delhi’s top order batting looks alarmingly weak. Sam Billings is expected to join a very inexperienced group comprising Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Karun Nair, Sanju Samson and Aditya Tare.

Key Performance Indicator: Indian batting

Delhi’s team is packed with talented but young Indian batsmen. At least two of them are going to have to make significant contributions this season if they are to cover for the major losses of Duminy and de Kock.
