3. Wicket Taking pacers
The team had retained Arshdeep Singh last year. This year, the team bought the likes of Kagiso Rabada, Ishan Porel, Sandeep Sharma, and Nathan Ellis. Rabada has been an effective bowler in the last few years while playing Delhi. This year, having got the NOC to play the full tournament, the right-arm pacer would like to continue from where he left last year. Other bowlers too have the quality to trouble best batters with different skill sets.
4. Plenty of international quality players
The team has players such as Mayank Agarwal, Shikhar Dhawan, Kagiso Rabada, Jonny Bairstow, who brings in tons of international experience. Their experience will be valuable in tense game situations.
5. Bench Strength
Players such as Benny Howell, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Ishan Porel, etc might not get to play often but the team has created a pool of 25 players who will be useful for the team in case of contingencies.
