The cricketing festival of India, IPL, is just 10 days away, and the hush-hush has already begun in the camps of all the franchises. The franchises are fighting it out hard to cover all the bases before they take the field in the upcoming edition of IPL.

Delhi Daredevils will enter the colossal league with a hope to end their jinx at IPL by lifting their first-ever IPL trophy. Delhi has a more or less settled batting line-up with a quality top order. Thus, this time around, with many openers in their squad, team selection will be an uphill task for DD. 

Here is a look at four players who can fulfill the opening duties for Delhi Daredevils in the upcoming edition of IPL.


#4 Rishabh Pant

The left-handed opener from Delhi, Rishabh Pant, has been one of the most promising talents in the domestic circuit. Pant came into the reckoning after his exploits for India Under-19 in the 2016 World Cup. His blistering performances in the 2016 U-19 World Cup didn't go unnoticed, and days after the World Cup, he was drafted in the IPL auctions by Delhi Daredevils. 

This time again, Rishabh Pant is set to serve Delhi Daredevils after being retained by DD in IPL retention. Having opened for DD in the past, Pant is most likely to the open for DD in the upcoming edition of IPL as well.
