IPL 2018: 3 things Delhi Daredevils should do to win their match against Kolkata Knight Riders

#2 Promote Chris Morris in the batting order

Chris Morris

South African all-rounder Chris Morris is set to return to Delhi Daredevils playing line up, after missing Delhi Daredevils last match against defending champions Mumbai Indians due to illness.

Chris Morris is the currently the best player in Delhi Daredevils franchise and one of their trump cards because of his all-round ability, as he can bowl at quick pace and can deliver pinpoint yorkers consistently and can hit the cricket ball a long distance.

One of the major reasons why Delhi Daredevils failed to qualify for the playoffs in IPL 2016 and 2017 despite having one of the best teams in both the editions, was mainly because Delhi Daredevils team management reluctance to send Chris Morris up the batting order as a result of which Delhi Daredevils lost many close games in 2016 and 2017 edition of IPL.

The trend of not sending Chris Morris up the batting order was continued in IPL 2018 also when Rahul Tewatia and Vijay Shankar were sent ahead of Chris Morris in Delhi Daredevils opening match of IPL 2018 against Kings XI Punjab which as a result of which Delhi Daredevils scored 20-25 runs less while batting first.

If Delhi Daredevils team management are really serious about winning the IPL 2018, then they need to send their best player Chris Morris up the batting order at No.4 depending on the situation to face as many balls as possible instead of being sent to bat No. 7.
