Best Possible XIs
With the IPL 14 knocking at the door, here we are looking at the best possible XIs from each team. Few teams will be missing their major players while there have been some comebacks.
Delhi Capitals will be without their regular captain Shreyas Iyer. But they have got a very good line-up to deal with the situation. Kolkata Knight Riders purchased old Knight, Shakib Al Hasan who must be willing to contribute wholeheartedly. For Chennai Super Kings, the good news is Suresh Raina is back. Mumbai Indians look set for another hurrah after the national debuts for Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan. Punjab Kings let Glenn Maxwell go but they were busy in IPL auction. They would hope for the buys to be effective. Rajasthan Royals will be without their prime pace attack, Jofra Archer at least for a part of the league. Royal Challengers Bangalore will be hoping to work of their middle-order issue after having maxwell on-board. Sunrisers Hyderabad will still be dealing with many overseas options and have to find out the best XI at the earliest.
