#3 Delhi Capitals

This may come as a surprise to many, but Delhi Capitals have been investing heavily in the youngsters in the past two years. The investments could finally pay dividends as the team looks like a solid outfit.

Delhi bought Hanuma Vihari, Colin Ingram, Axar Patel and Keemo Paul in the auction and also poached Dhawan from SRH.

Delhi's top order looks ominous right now. Prithvi Shaw showed us glimpses of his class in last year's IPL and during his stint with the Indian Cricket Team. He'll be joined by Dhawan. Shreyas Iyer has been milking runs in the domestic arena for quite some time now and words won't do justice to the swashbuckling Rishabh Pant. The local boy was the second leading run scorer last year and will be hungry for more.

Delhi suffered a major setback last year after losing Rabada to injury, but this year, Rabada-Morris-Boult will be leading the pace attack. With a mystery spinner in Sandeep Lamichhane from Nepal, they look one of most balanced sides going into the IPL.

Probable XI - Dhawan, Shaw, Iyer (c), Pant (wk), Manjot Kalra, Vihari, Morris, Axar, Lamichhane, Rabada, Boult
