Hardik Pandya has been away from cricket for a while due to an injury. He had a good season last year with 18 wickets from 13 matches. He had also contributed 260 runs with the bat. He would be hoping to have a good run in this season ahead of the upcoming World Cup.

Delhi Capitals - Sandeep Lamichhane

Sandeep Lamichhane

Sandeep Lamichhane is one of the exciting spinners in modern days of cricket. In the last IPL season, he has played only 3 matches and picked 5 wickets.
