IPL 2017: Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Delhi Daredevils, 5 factors of winning

#2 With the ball

Zaheer Khan will lead the bowling unit for the Delhi Daredevils

The bowling unit of RCB is known to be a weak link and hence it came as no surprise that they strengthened their bowling department by roping in Tymal Mills, the England left-arm pacer for the 2017 edition.

He is known for his skills in the shortest format of the game and is a specialist T20 bowler for England. The bowling department would rely on him for early breakthroughs and effective death bowling.

He will be well supported by Yuzvendra Chahal who has been one of most consistent performers in the RCB bowling department for a couple of years. The duo will be expected to share the bulk of the bowling responsibilities along with skipper Shane Watson who has been known to chip in with handy wickets in the middle overs.

It is no surprise that the strength of the Delhi Daredevils is their bowling department. Along with the experienced Zaheer Khan and Mohammed Shami, the pace battery will include international stars like Kagiso Rabada and Pat Cummins.

The Delhi outfit also have the services of Chris Morris who performed exceedingly well for them last season. The wrist spinners are known to be game changers and in Amit Mishra, Delhi have an experienced leg-spinner who can turn the game on its head with his control over line and length.

The bowling line up of the Delhi team looks formidable and they will back themselves to defend any total.
