Delhi Giants

The Delhi Giants boast of maximum players from their lineup in the Top rankings of the ICL stats for both the batting and bowling departments in the ICL 50′s. Their batting revolves around the Sri-Lankan maestro, Marvan Atapattu ably supported by the impressive JP Yadav, MD Mishra & Abhinav Bali.

The inclusion of attacking left hand opener Avishka Gunawardene & wicket-keeper batsman Nic Pothas makes their lineup even stronger. Further, Shane Bond’s partnership with Abid Nabi & spin sensation Ali Murtaza ably supported by the off breaks of the experienced Dale Benkenstien gives the Delhi Giants a great chance to win the trophy this year, which they have narrowly missed in the two previous editions.

Led by the stylish Marvan Atapattu and coached by World Cup winner Madan Lal, they are one of the best sides on the ICL platform. They made a clean sweep at the league stage of the ICL 50s only to be knocked out in the final by the Chennai Superstars. With the current talent pool at its disposal they are sure to start as one of the favorites this year.

Squad: Marvan Atapattu (captain), Abbas Ali, Abhinav Bali, Abhishek Sharma, Abid Ahanger, Ali Murtaza, Avishka Gunawardene, Dale Benkenstein, Dhruv Mahajan, Dishant Yagnik (wk), JP Yadav, Mohnish Mishra, Nic Pothas, Raghav Sachdev, Shalabh Srivastav, Shane Bond, Taduri Sudindra.
