Switchblade Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) Quote https://cricketaddictor.com/cricket/delhi-daredevils-likely-to-scap-devils-for-the-2019-indian-premier-league-edition/ The Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Delhi Daredevils (DD) wants to do away with ‘Devils’ from their franchise name in the upcoming twelfth edition of the lucrative IPL. Furthermore, Parth Jindal, the director of JSW sports is trying to introduce and eventually imply some more changes soon. Parth isn’t very comfortable with the captain being too flamboyant. He believes the individual heading the team should be more simple in his outlook, TOI reported. Former Australian cricketer, Ricky Ponting is likely to take full control over the franchise. However, former Indian off-spinner, Harbhajan Singh will be appointed as the new mentor for Delhi, according to the report. Moreover, Jindal is aiming to change the name from Delhi Daredevils to something else along with a change in the apparel. Young Mumbai-based batsman Shreyas Iyer led the Daredevils side in the last season of the IPL. He put up a good show since he took over reins from the veteran Gautam Gambhir, who stepped midway through the season following a miserable show Jindal has a lot of plan in his mind for the changes that he wants to introduce at the earliest. The new owner admitted that the retained players would be informed and others will not be retained for the next edition. Moreover, Ponting is now the face of the franchise. He will be the sole decision maker while ace off-spinner Harbhajan is likely to assist him as the mentor. Harbhajan is likely to bid adieu to the defending champions, Chennai Super Kings(CSK) who bought him earlier this year. Delhi Daredevils is yet to win an Indian Premier League trophy. Daredevils finished at the bottom of the table in the last edition of the league earlier this year. In addition, they will be desperate to put a hand on the trophy in the upcoming edition. Also, they are keen to build a strong squad. Harbhajan as mentor why not make Gambhir mentor of the team if he is not retained as a player how is Bhajji going to motivate the players ?

Switchblade Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 Harbhajan will be a dumb addition why not Zak or Gambhir instead of him? UrmiSinhaRay and beetle 1 1 Link to comment
UrmiSinhaRay Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 The name was really nice- Naam se kya aa jaata hai? They're gonna further lose whatever identity they had. And Ponting isn't really a good coach. They better hire Gambhir himself- he is a gutsy person, a good tactician and finally, a fantastic talent scout. Tibarn and Stradlater 2 Link to comment

Tibarn Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Daredevils had the best name in the IPL. Most of the other teams have boring, unimaginative, or corny names like Kings XI, Superkings, Knight Riders, Sunrisers, SuperGiants, Royal Challengers They can't see anything past Royal/Super/King based names LordPrabhzy and beetle 1 1 Link to comment

They had 1 good season... Either way, they have some nice young players now like Pant, Iyer, and Rabada who can make them a better team in a season or two. Link to comment

First two seasons and then fifth one after that they failed miserably and yes they have a good team but no experienced captain. Link to comment

Has A bit of influence in Delhi power breaking circle else I don't think so. Couldn't bet enough for Bengaluru FC to win This year's ISL Though he's known to be a good manager in sporting line. Key is to bet well in the undertable agreements and have loads of power. Can A Parth Jindal stand in front of Nita , Badshah, Srini Mamu etc etc? Even that SRH owner is more powerful than Jindal. Ultimately, IPL is a circus run by TRP, media trends and Betting circles. And when RCB couldn't win despite so many fans, it's a bit farfetched to imagine DD winning IPL in this decade.

zen Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Delhi RedForts or Qutab-climbers .... or may be Delhi Dumbwits .... I hope Ponting and Bhajji won't fight in the dressing room LordPrabhzy, Switchblade, UrmiSinhaRay and 1 other 4 Link to comment
chewy Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Bhajji can't put together two coherent sentences in comm box and he is going to be a IPL mentor. At least Shastri has excuse of being a drunkard beetle, Switchblade and UrmiSinhaRay 1 2 Link to comment
