The Daredevils camp got the much needed fillip just before the start of the 10th edition of IPL as their star Indian bowlers Amit Mishra and Mohammed Shami are declared fit and are available for the entire season this year.

Both bowlers picked up injuries during the busy home season last year. Though Mishra and Shami featured in just 2 and 6 Tests respectively out of the 13 played by the Test team, they still were ruled out of action pertaining to injuries. Shami attained full fitness before the Dharamsala Test and was also included in the squad for the deciding Test but the team management ultimately did not want to risk him. Shami is match fit as he turned up for Bengal in the Vijay Hazare Trophy Final against Tamil Nadu and also picked up four wickets.

The Daredevils camp must be breathing a sigh of relief as the duo Indian bowlers participation was under a cloud. Daredevils had already been jolted; with their star overseas players – Duminy and De Kock, pulling out of the tournament and the news of another player pulling out, especially Indian, would have been a disaster for them. Earlier this week, designated skipper Zaheer Khan also confirmed his full availability during the tournament. The bowling department now looks great and also has a lot of international experience as Zaheer, Shami and Mishra have 937 international wickets between themselves.

Zaheer wanted to put his cards close to his chest, as he did not want to disclose if Rishabh Pant will don the wicket-keeping gloves and open the innings in the absence of De Kock.

Daredevils finished sixth last season and is keen to improve their performance this year. With Rahul Dravid as their team mentor; and Zaheer Khan as captain, Daredevils have the right personnel to do well in a high-profile tournament.
