Delhi Daredevils | Indian Premier League (IPL) Cricket Team
The Delhi Daredevils are to be led by Icon Player Virender Sehwag - the Nawab of Najafgarh Virender's claim to fame his he has scored the fastest triple hundred in Test cricket. The team base is built on solid batsmen like AB de Villiers, Gautam Gambhir and Shoaib Malik, and with bowlers of the calibre of Glenn McGrath, Daniel Vettori and Mohammad Asif.
The team is owned by the GMR Group and its home ground is the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium at Delhi. Greg Shipperd will don the mantle of the coach while Bollywood star Akshay Kumar is the brand ambassador of the Daredevils.
Flair and Danger that's what the Daredevils are about with a steady bowling attack coupled with deadly batting make this the team to watch. Dangerous side with plenty of flair, that's what Delhi Daredevils is all about. They have the experience of Glenn McGrath and Daniel Vettori, However last season the exuberance of this pair proved to be a cause for their poor showing.
Recent acquistions Paul Collingwood and Owais Shah have the ability to change their game according to formats.
Virender Sehwag is an imaginative skipper, known for his shrewd cricketing brain. Almost led his side to the crown last year. Coach Kepler Wessels from South Africa can be innovative and come up with unlikely ideas to throw rivals off-guard.
