The Daredevils have an impressive Indian squad. But, at Zaheer Khan’s disposal are also foreign players of great class – batsmen, bowlers and all-rounders. Delhi received a massive jot in the form of Quinton de Kock, who will miss out because of injury. Along with him is the middle-order stalwart JP Duminy who has cited personal reasons to not play this year. But Daredevils are still strong enough to contend for the title.

Chris Morris is a fine new-ball bowler. Carlos Brathwaite is a floater, having already made a name winning the ICC T20 Performance of the Year for his pyrotechnics in the T20 World Cup Final against England. Throw in the England opener Sam Billings, South African pacer Kagiso Rabada, New Zealand’s big-hitting all-rounder Corey Anderson and Australia’s tearaway fast bowler, Pat Cummins and Daredevils are in great shape. And then there is Sri Lanka’s Angelo Mathews too.

And I prayed when Sachin bowled the final over against SA. And I smiled when Goran finally won the Wimbledon. And I wept when Zidane had to walk out. And I jumped when Bryant dunked. And I..and I..and I...sports..and I live to feel what they go through on the field.
