#4 Bajirao Hodage
He might possess a slender frame but his block and dash are lethal. Hodage was the pillar of Patna's defence last season when he defended in tandem with the like of Atrachali and Oshtorak.
By shelling out a hefty 44.5 lakhs to bring him to the Delhi squad, the attempt of the management is to revive the Shinde-Hodage partnership that wowed the crowds in season three when the duo paired up for Bengal Warriors.
After missing out on the first couple of seasons due to injuries, Hodage has done amazingly well to establish himself as one of the most dependable names in defence. The responsibility on him this time will be to deliver for a team that has perennially underperformed.
