#6 Abolfazl Maghsoudlou
Since the inception of the league, rarely has a team fielded two foreign exports in their starting line-up. Abolfazl has a real chance at reversing this trend. He spent last season with Patna Pirates and was largely used as a do or die raider.
In the limited opportunities that he had, the raider displayed his speed, reach and poise during pressure situations. The Iranian has a real shot at breaking into the starting line-up this time around.
#7 Rupesh Tomar
With three solid defenders at their disposal, Dabang Delhi have four specialised defenders who will be part of the league for the first time ever. Which is why all-rounder, Rupesh Tomar will in all probability be tasked with the role of the fourth defender in this team.
The new defenders will no doubt have their chances and will be eased into the team but for now, Rupesh will start and combine with Sunil, Nilesh Shinde and Bajirao at the back.
