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

Shami will certainly be one of the players to watch out for the match after missing out on the last leg of India’s long home season. He has been injury stricken since the 2015 World Cup and will definitely look to come all guns blazing.

He has the ability to generate genuine pace to go with the prodigious swing. He is a terrific new ball bowler but with the old ball he is just phenomenal and is one of the best exponents of reverse swing in world cricket currently.

He will certainly take IPL as an opportunity to get the ideal match practise for the Champions Trophy title defence in June. He also has the ability to ply some lusty blows lower down the order. He literally pack a punch and can use the long handle to good effect. His IPL record hasn’t been great and the star fast bowler has only bagged 19 wickets in 31 outings at an unimpressive average of 46.
