Delhi Daredevils

Apart from their mad max captain, Delhi could be described as the blue-collared team in IPL – it is made up of hard workers high on utility and low on flash value.

Then there's Glen McGrath, arguably the best pace bowler of the era, and Asif, who is being looked upon as McGrath's successor.

McGrath wasn't picked by any team during the first auction - a surprise, and you could trust the Australian to prove his critics wrong.

There also are lots of homegrown heroes with appreciable domestic records.

Kolkata bank on Shoaib to keep Delhi down
Logic says never change a winning combination. Kolkata have won their last two games but may just turn that line of thinking on its head for this one, and unleash the latest Knight in their armour, Shoaib Akhtar, who has been waiting desperately for a go since touching down.

"A fit Shoaib, or even almost a 90 per cent fit Shoaib will be perfect for anyone. But again, at the same stage, we don't want to rush him in the competition," Kolkata coach John Buchanan says.
