IPL 2018: 4 opening combinations Delhi Daredevils can try by dropping Gautam Gambhir

Modified Apr 26, 2018 14:08 IST

Gautam Gambhir has relinquished captaincy and can now be dropped from the team

#1 Prithvi Shaw and Manjot Kalra

Manjot Kalra played a superb knock in the final of ICC U-19 World Cup 2018

This is probably a very risky opening pair, but requiring a minimum of seven victories in eight matches, it is high time DD move out of their safe and secure plans and start taking risks. With one U-19 star already proving his worth, DD can give a chance to another young and rising Indian talent in Manjot Kalra.

The Shaw-Kalra partnership did wonders for India U-19 in the ICC U-19 World Cup 2018. Kalra played an unprecedented knock of 101 runs in just 102 deliveries in the final against Australia U-19 to seal the trophy.
