DELHI SUFFERING FROM THEIR OWN SPREAD DISEASE
With the think tank like Rahul Dravid and Paddy Upton, Delhi Daredevils have started their IPL campaign in an emphatic manner at half way stage they were the front runner to make in the palyoffs, but with unnecessary changes in the playing XI they are suffering a lot, now they are in the 6th place in the points table.
In a general phenomenon of cricketing facts teams usually don’t change their winning combination, yes there are few things which is considerable like injury or the conditions of the pitch (Spin or Pace supporting tracks) or may be some urgent occupancy of any particular player.
Delhi have played only 2 players regularly in the playing XI, Amit Mishra, Karun Nair, apart from that almost every player have changed after playing 1-2 games. I can understand that they have dropped Zaheer Khan has some niggles here and there especially with growing age but what about the other players who have been dropped after playing a match winning knock like Carlos Brathwaite hard to fathom that they have constantly chop and changed the batting order of SAMSON, PANT. Bringing in and out IYER didn’t help the cause of the team either and it also dent the confidence of Iyer.
I can understand that you have to give chance to every player but not by the cost of your game, when you are so competitive in the season not need to messed-up all the things. Now they have two games left with Hyderabad and Bangalore respectively and it will be very difficult to win those matches because both teams are in red hot form currently. Hyderabad is doing fantastic, Bangalore have picked themselves up in later part of the tournament. Let’s see what they have left in their kitty for the last two matches’ hope they will bring something positive for the team.
