Ankit_sharma03 23,378 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) Like every year here i bring the SWOT analysis for every team , Starting with Strength Very solid indian core- Pant, shaw, dhawan, ashwin, rahane, ishant, umesh, Amit mishra .....to do well in IPL u need a good indian core Rabada-Nortje Form of Shaw n Pant Solid 5 bowlers in which 5th choice wud be - Ishant/umesh/mishra (what players to have for horses for courses ) Dhawan becomes an Asset in IPL Good backups Good mix of Left-Right batsman Weakness- They dont have someone like a russell, pandya , pollard at 6 or 7. With iyer injury i think stonis will bat high . They have picked ripal n lalit for the power hitter role but they lack experience Temptation to play Rahane n Smith in absence of Iyer which cud work as speed breakers for them Opportunity For ashwin n dhawan to reclaim their spot in indian t20 side Pant to prove his captaincy Shaw to be back in India reckoning Potential team that can beat Threat captaincy can affect pant's batting also their batsman wont enjoy slow surfaces Gameplan - with iyer gone i think they shud have hetymer n pant at 3 n 4 and play attacking cricket, MI has already shown hows its done. Dhawan can bat the way he does in that lineup Plan A (attacking) Plan B (Safe) Plan C (batting heavy) Plan D (lower order cushion) 1 Dhawan Dhawan Dhawan Dhawan 2 Shaw Shaw Shaw Shaw 3 Hetymer Smith Smith/ Hetymer Smith/ Hetymer 4 Pant (c n wk) Pant (c n wk) Pant (c n wk) Pant (c n wk) 5 Stonis Stonis Stonis Stonis 6 Lalit yadav/ Ripal Lalit yadav/ Ripal Billings Lalit yadav/ Ripal 7 Axar Axar Axar woakes/curran 8 Ashwin Ashwin Ashwin Axar 9 Rabada Rabada Rabada Ashwin 10 Nortje Nortje Ishant Rabada 11 Ishant/ Umesh/ Mishra/ Meriwala Ishant/ Umesh/ Mishra/ Meriwala Umesh/ Mishra/ Meriwala Ishant/ Umesh/ Mishra/ Meriwala Edited April 5 by Ankit_sharma03 Cricspin 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ankit_sharma03 23,378 Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 In case axar misses few games either they ll have to drop nortje n play woakes/curran or they ll have to gamble with ripal n lalit both in same XI Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ankit_sharma03 23,378 Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 DC wil miss nortje n rabadda in 1st game due to qurantine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dilliboy 268 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Yep first game they'll probably go with Woakes, Curran and Mishra. Woakes is a decent backup but curran could become a liability. But does give them extra batting depth Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They can firm their batting up with one of the foreign import instead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Serpico 1,243 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Pant should come in after 14th over. Don't want him to start the anchoring crap now that he's a captain Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Might also decide to go with Umesh and Ishant both actually.. In that case, Smith at 3 and Billings at 6..seems a decent first XI I'll go with Shaw Dhawan Smith Pant Stoinis Billings Woakes Mishra Ashwin Ishant Umesh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chewy 3,691 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 In your Swot teams, none of them had Rahane in the XI, yet he starts today Seems like DC management missed your analysis Cant believe DC haven't got more attacking batsmen then him Quote Link to post Share on other sites
