#2 Resolving the middle order chaos

Delhi's all-rounder Vijay Shankar has been underused so far in the tournament. Shankar has not contributed with the bat much and has bowled only one over thus far. The Daredevils have the likes of Gurkeerat Singh and Naman Ojha in their ranks. The experienced Ojha can add more stability to the middle order whereas Gurkeerat can add a little cushion to the all-round department with his ability to bowl off-spin but with the presence of Maxwell, Gurkeerat might not get an opportunity.
The promotion of Rahul Tewatia as a pinch-hitter has not paid off for the Daredevils. The DD skipper should look for alternative options. The Daredevils may also play Manjot Kalra in the middle order. The team from the north lack players who can tackle spin during the middle phase of the innings.
To resolve this issue they can add Ojha in the middle order as he can rotate the strike easily. With Maxwell and Iyer being the aggressors, the former SRH wicket-keeper can be a perfect batsman to bat in the middle order.
