All-time best XI of Delhi Capitals (DC) in IPL
Some big names in the eleven.
11. Ashish Nehra
It wouldn’t be ethical if the team didn’t end with another Delhite. Ashish Nehra has played for a host of teams during an illustrious IPL career which ended in 2017. Apart from two spells with Delhi Capitals, Nehra has also played for Mumbai Indians, Pune Warriors India, Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
He has taken 36 wickets in 30 outings for the Delhi Capitals during his three seasons at the club. His best season came in 2009 as he picked up 19 wickets in just 13 games conceding only 6.78 runs an over at a brilliant strike rate of 16.10. In 2015, playing for Chennai Super Kings, Nehra got 22 dismissals to his name as he helped his side reach the IPL finals.
Ashish Nehra faced some competition by the likes of Zaheer Khan and Shahbaz Nadeem. But he knows the local conditions, is very economical and also fulfills the team’s need for a left-arm pacer. The veteran pacer is capable of bowling at a tight length and foxing the batsmen by changing the pace of the ball quite frequently and that’s why he is the most sensible choice.
