IPL AUCTION HINDSIGHTS: DELHI DARE DEVILS – UNPREDICTABLE DARK HORSES

Utility players that’s what Delhi has gone for. Viru, Malik, DeVilliers, Dilshan and Mahroof are all mercurial players who can be scorching on their day. McGrath, Asif and Vettori add fire to the bowling line up. Gautham Gambhir is an exceptional pick. The left hander has had a dream run in T20 format.

Jack in the Pack: DeVilliers and Viru could change the course of the game in a single over.

Pain in the neck: Viru, DeVilliers, Maharoof, Malik are all known for their inconsistency. They might bat like Gods on a day and like paupers on another.

Squad: Virender Sehwag (icon), Daniel Vettori (US$625,000), Shoaib Malik (US$500,000), Mohammad Asif (US$650,000), AB de Villiers (US$300,000), Dinesh Karthik (US$525,000), Farveez Maharoof (US$225,000), Tillakaratne Dilshan (US$250,000), Manoj Tiwary (US$675,000), Gautam Gambhir (US$725,000), Glenn McGrath (US$350,000)

Quote: The best fielding side on view so far and could perform miracles if the batting unit clicks.
