IPL 2017: Delhi Daredevils Launches New Jersey ahead of the new season

Delhi Daredevils have now launched their new jersey ahead of the upcoming season of IPL after the unveiling of the new jersey by fellow IPL team Rising Pune Supergiant. The new jersey was launched in the presence of their skipper Zaheer Khan and fellow fast bowlers Pat Cummins, who is fresh from the Indian series. Alongside Zaheer and Cummins, South African right arm quick Kagiso Rabada was also present at the unveiling.

The new jersey looks identical to the previous one except for a tiny little change in the design of the jersey for IPL 10. Have a look at the New Jersey:

The Daredevils began their pre-season with some unwelcome news. South African all-rounder JP Duminy and wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock are set to miss the entire IPL due to various reasons. Rahul Dravid, the coach of the franchise, has expressed his disappointment over losing both the players just before the start of a new season.

He further commented that it would be manageable for the franchise if the news such as this comes in before the IPL Auction, which would make it easy for the franchise to look for a suitable replacement. Since the announcement has come this late, it adds pressure on the IPL side to make suitable changes in their squad.

Dravid said “It is obviously a big blow when you lose big players like JP Duminy and Quinton de Kock. If these things happen before the auction, then it is easier because you can plan better. But then this is how it goes and you cannot help it.”

Delhi Daredevils will begin their 10th season in the IPL against last year’s finalists Royal Challengers Bangalore, who have also been recovering from the news of injuries to KL Rahul and their captain Virat Kohli which would keep the former from the entire IPL and the latter from the initial stages of the tournament.
