Delhi Daredevils have had a few disappointing time in the last few seasons of the Indian Premier League. However, they went for a complete overhaul of the squad this time bringing in Gautam Gambhir to lead the team with some very talented young players such as - Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer among others. Better things were expected from them this year.

Things, however, did not go to plan as they succumbed to five losses in their first six matches. Their form picked up a bit in the second half of the league stage with Pant, Iyer and Prithvi Shaw leading the charge for them. They would be looking to put up a better show in 2019 and for that, they need to let go of some non-performers this season.

So who are the players that are likely to be dropped by the Delhi management for IPL 2019? Let us have a look


#3 Junior Dala

Junior Dala burst onto the scene in the T20 series against India in 2018. In the 3 matches that he played, he picked up 7 wickets and put himself into the reckoning for an IPL contract. Although he went unsold in the auction, he was snapped up by Delhi as a replacement for Chris Morris.

Opportunities came hard to come by for Dala in the IPL. With Trent Boult establishing himself as the premier fast bowler for the team Dala was left to play second fiddle. He played a solitary match for Delhi against Bangalore where he went wicketless.

With Chris Morris likely to come back for the 2019 edition, it is unlikely that Dala would be retained by the Delhi franchise.
