IPL 2019: 3 vital departments Delhi Daredevils need to strengthen during the auction

#3 All-rounders: Minimum requirement two

DD are in shortage of all-rounders after losing Abhishek Sharma and Vijay Shankar to SRH

Delhi Daredevils have lost two key all-rounders - Abhishek Sharma and Vijay Shankar - to SRH in pursuit of Shikhar Dhawan.

Both Abhishek and Vijay showed a glimpse of their talent last season. It's a surprising decision from DD because India hardly produces quality all-rounders and losing two at a time will be a major blow for them.

DD should look for all-rounders who can bring stability to the lower middle order and variation in the bowling department.

Zimbabwean all-rounders like Sean Williams, Sikandar Raza will be best fit to the team as they are in great form and also doesn't have world cup commitments this time. Also, all-rounders like Ben Cutting, Isuru Udana, Cameron Delport have done a great job during APL.

DD should take the leaf out of CSK's strategy where their all-rounders Shane Watson, Ravindra Jadeja and Dwayne Bravo have brought great balance to CSK's playing XI. It's imperative to invest good money in all-rounders to have a successful campaign.

If DD can fix the mentioned departments during IPL auction, they have a good chance to beat the odds and win the title this time.
