#1 Sandeep Lamichhane

The ideal player for the fourth spot would have been Kagiso Rabada, However, the South African is currently playing the T20I series against Sri Lanka. It's expected to end on 24th March 2019, hence he will not be part of the opening fixture for Delhi.
The franchise might go with the Nepal leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane, who played three games in the last season and impressed everyone. The 18-year-old took the wickets of IPL superstars Suresh Raina and Kieron Pollard in the last season. He wowed everyone in the last match against Mumbai Indian by taking three wickets
