IPL 10, Match 5, RCB v DD: Delhi Daredevils Predicted XI

Delhi Daredevils has arguably been the most unlucky team in the IPL over the last 9 years along with their opponents for the first game Royal Challengers Bangalore. Delhi has failed to qualify for the playoffs in the last 4 years and they will definitely look to turn their fortunes around once they meet the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Chinnaswamy Stadium from 8 pm today.

Even before the start of the tournament, they were pegged back by the absence of Quinton de Kock and JP Duminy. De Kock sustained an injury while playing the Test series against New Zealand and was advised to take rest while Duminy opted out of the tournament due to personal reasons. It will be ask for the mentor and the captain Zaheer Khan to rise up to the occasion and his experience will come in handy for the Daredevils

So with the Delhi Bangalore clash to commence at the Chinnaswamy Stadium from 8 pm let’s have a look at the Predicted XI of Delhi Daredevils

Sam Billings, Sanju Samson, Karun Nair, Rishabh Pant, Aditya Tare, Carlos Brathwaite, Chris Morris, Amit Mishra, KagisoRabada, Zaheer Khan (c), Mohammad Shami.

Sam Billings

The hard-hitting right hander from England is expected to open the batting for Delhi in the first encounter against Bangalore. He doesn’t have a too much experience of playing in this competition but was in the playing XI in 5 matches last years.

He has the capability to destroy bowling attacks in the powerplay which will surely make a dangerous prospect to deal with.

If the right handers gets his eyes in he can really be a match winner on his given day. His free-flowing style and hitting abilities will surely keep him in good stead ahead of their season. In the 5 IPL matches Billings has played, the swashbuckling opener has amassed 88 runs at an average of 22.
