Delhi Daredevils in IPL 5 2012 - Power Packed Batting Lineup

Selection issues of Delhi Daredevils in IPL 5 2012.
The foreign player power of Delhi dare devils is the highest than any other team in the 2012 edition of IPL. Many criticized the owners of the Delhi team for having chosen the worst line up in the last years IPL. With just Sehwag and Warner to rely upon the team Delhi Dare devils faltered almost all the matches.


The Delhi team management had decided to put an end to this issue from the IPL auction when they went hard at players like Andre Russell and Jayawardene. They did not stop after that they went a step further ahead with the transfer of high profile players like Kevin Pieterson from Deccan Chargers and Ross Taylor from Rajasthan Royals.

So what has happened now is magnanimity of options from Sehwag to choose from. So what is Sehwag gonna do? Definitely Sehwag is going to select a player like Mahela Jayawardene in the playing eleven. Such experienced and aggressive player cannot be retained in the benches at any cost and Sehwag and Delhi team management knew it when they selected Mahela Jayawardene as the vice captain of Delhi Daredevils.

Warner had been the face of Delhi Daredevils ever since he joined IPL. And the form which he is in now strengthens his position within the team and he is gonna be the opener who will open the innings with Sehwag in the opening matches of IPL.

The rest 2 foreign players posts will be the area of concern for Sehwag. Let us see the options for the 2 posts,

  • Kevin Pieterson
  • Ross Taylor
  • Mathew Wade
  • Andre Russell
  • Role of Vandermerwe
  • Aaron Finch
  • Morne Morkel
  • Doug Brace well



It would depend on how the team decides the structure of team to be. If team decides to play a pace bowler -Morne Morkel would get a look in. But most possibility will be for André Russell considering the fact that he can bowl and bat and will be a pretty better option than a genuine pace bowler.

The fourth post would be a musical chair between Pieterson, Ross Taylor and Mathew Wade. Who goes to win the fourth vacant post would depend on how well the player is able to gel with the team.
So the 4 foreign players will be

  1. David Warner
  2. Mahela Jayawardene
  3. Andre Russell
  4. Kevin Pieterson/Ross Taylor/Mathew Wade

( There is now reports that Andre Russell has injured himself )


Who do you think is gonna come up in the fourth vacant post comment your views below.
