Delhi Daredevils
Delhi Daredevils lacks star Indian cricketers but has a good crop of domestic talents who are capable of taking their team ahead. The team is led by Zaheer Khan, the most experienced name in the team.
But apart from him, DD cannot count on other huge stars. However, this lacking is made up brilliantly by the presence of young promising names. Karun Nair, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, Aditya Tare and Sanju Samson form a superb batting line-up.
All are touted to be the next generation of Indian batting, say at least in the limited over format. The presence of Murugan Ashwin and CV Milind along with Amit Mishra makes the bowling department look exciting.
Full squad: Angelo Mathews, Corey Anderson, Kagiso Rabada, Pat Cummins, Ankit Bawne, Aditya Tare, Murugan Ashwin, Navdeep Saini , Shashank Singh , JP Duminy, Mohammed Shami, Quinton de Kock, Shahbaz Nadeem, Jayant Yadav, Amit Mishra, Shreyas Iyer, Zaheer Khan, Sam Billings, Sanju Samson, Chris Morris, Carlos Brathwaite, Karun Nair, Rishabh Pant, CV Milind, Syed Ahmed, Pratyush Singh.
Squad strength: 26 (17 Indian, 9 Overseas)
Teams that miss out – Gujarat Lions, Kings XI Punjab, Rising Pune Supergiants
