Players to watch

The new look Delhi Daredevils will be led by Kevin Pietersen who will anticipate a big success in his latest role. Quinton de Kock is a splendid opener whereas Dinesh Karthik has scored so many runs in IPL. Mohammed Shami is an excellent bowler with the new ball while Shahbaz Nadeem and Rahul Sharma will create problems for the rival batsmen.

Chris Gayle will be the glorious batsman to watch though he was unable to perform well in the recently concluded ICC World T20. Virat Kohli is in full swing and was unstoppable in the above competition while AB de Villiers can control the middle order with brisk scoring. Varun Aaron and Ashok Dinda have yet to prove their worth in the IPL but they are the important bowlers. Mitchell Starc and Muttiah Muralitharan will strengthen the bowling with a nice track record.

  1. Gayle brings hail storm but only once a while. When was last time we saw Gayle in his best form? Kohli might be more interesting as he is at the top of his game.
