The Daredevils squad is definitely weaker in terms of international players and experience. Icon player, Virender Sehwag and Tillakaratne Dilshan are arguably two of the most dangerous but inconsistent one day opening batsmen on the international stage. Both struggled to get any consistency in the recent one day series although when at their best each can tear apart an attack. The key to this batting order is Gautam Gambhir. Gambhir was the leading run scorer in the CBA series in Australia, it is critical for Delhi that he continues to dominate. While AB De Villiers, another key batsmen, will be hoping his batting on Indian pitches improves during the tournemant.The bowling line up appears weak with McGrath and Vettori the stand outs. Delhi will be hoping that local players can work around these two experienced bowlers.

PLAYER TO WATCH DANIEL VETTORI

The key player in this side is Daniel Vettori. Formerly known as a spinner who can bat a bit, Vettori has established himself as a genuine all rounder. His batting performances for New Zealand in recent years reflect in an excellent record. Particularly, in test matches. Although not explosive, Vettori has the skill and wisdom which will ensure he will be a key player for the Delhi Daredevils.
