Why The Delhi Daredevils are Gonna Win IPL-5

The Season 5 of the DLF Indian Premier League is just around the corner. The Indian Premier league is the Baby of The Board of Control For cricket in India, Or BCCI as we all know it.

This tournament began in 2008 to bring the domestic players to light and also to give them the exposure of playing along with International stars. IPL is the Second Highest Paid League after Just the NBA of US. The fith Edition Begins on 3^rd april at Chennai With The Performances of Katy Perry, Salman Khan, Amitabh Bacchan Etc. The matches start from the 4^th of april and Will end with the Final on 27^th may Which will be played at Chennai.

Delhi Daredevils is the Team owned by GMR Group and is the Home team of The National Capital, Delhi. Their Home ground is The Firoz Shah Kotla Stadium Which has a capacity of 48000 People. The Daredevils have Performed exceptionally well Since the starting of the IPL and they Reached the Semi-Finals of the first two Seasons as well. Unfortunately Luck Didn’t favour them and they lost out both the times. In the 2010 Season, Delhi Just missed the Semi-Final spot due to the Net run rate. The daredevils had a forgettable 2011 season when they finished at the last of the table.

Why Do I Then Believe that Delhi Daredevils are gonna win the IPL 2012?

Nothing To Lose : After Finishing at the bottom of the points table last year, Delhi have got nothing to lose. They can only look up from here. When a Team finishes at the bottom of the table, they have already experienced the worst and now the team doesn’t have anything to fear. This point has been proved previously by the deccan chargers when after finishing last in the 2008 season, They bounced back and won the 2009 season.

The Player Mix: The Daredevils have a Brilliant Player Mix and the team has all round performers in it. The Domestic and the foreign Players have great combinations and hopefully they'll fire to win it.

 The Daredevil Skipper Virender Sehwag: This Name needs no Introduction. He has scored the Higest runs by an Indian in Test Matches, 319, And in The one Day Internationals, 219. He has one of the best strike rates both in One day’s and in T20’s for the country. When Sehwag Gets going, He destroys the other Teams. The Daredevils would need their skipper to step up the mantle and Get the required runs.

David warner: The Australian has created ripples in the IPL since the day he came in. This Powerful opener is the best partner which Virender sehwag can hope to get. On days when Viru Doesn’t score, David warner is always there to keep the scoreboard ticking and making runs at a fast rate.
