IPL 2018: 5 overseas stars who might not feature in starting XI

#3 Trent Boult

Trent Boult has won many a game for New Zealand

The premier Kiwi fast-bowler is at the peak of his career. He is one of only 6 bowlers to have taken 200 Test wickets for New Zealand. Trent Boult has troubled many a batsman with his ability to swing the ball early on in the innings.

Delhi Daredevils, who bagged the services of Boult for INR 2.2 cr, will be tempted to draft him into the starting XI, but it might not be possible with the likes of Kagiso Rabada and Chris Morris certain to feature along with Glenn Maxwell and Colin Munro who will shoulder the batting duties. In seaming conditions, they might drop one of the 2 overseas batsmen and go all- out with Rabada and Boult, but the star pacer will have to wait for his opportunity.
