IPL 8: DD skipper Duminy says not having settled unit is a disadvantage
Delhi Daredevils, over the past two seasons, have shown a penchant for starting with a fresh team but the idea has its own pitfalls as one doesn’t know what is the best combination unlike some of the other settled teams, feels newly appointed captain JP Duminy.
DD’s best performer last season, Duminy was honest enough to admit that they played pretty lousy cricket and the biggest challenge will be to find what combination works for the team instantly.
“Obviously, last season, we were very bad in a lot of areas. This season, we want to rectify that. I am pretty excited with calibre of players we have this season. We have to figure out, how we go about first up as its a little disadvantage for us trying to figure out combination,” the skipper said after turning up in a practice game at Palam ground here today.
Duminy said that it is a “disadvantage” as some of the other teams are “well settled and structured”.
But the Proteas left-hander tried to put up a brave face stating that “it’s exciting to find fresh faces with new energy”.
The team’s highest scorer last season feels that it’s nice to have multiple options with bat and ball, which the team lacked last season.
“Nice to have so many options with bat and ball. I think, that is where we lacked a little bit last year as we didn’t have too many options. Neither with bat nor with ball.
