Strengths and Weaknesses
Simple roster logic makes this page useful even before matchday prediction routes are opened.
Strengths
Multiple high-tempo batters can push the run rate without waiting for a single finisher.
There are enough wicket-taking bowlers to pressure both the powerplay and death overs.
Home matches at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi give this squad a familiar tactical setup.
Weaknesses
The bench has coverage, but the drop from the first XI to rotation options is still noticeable.
If early wickets fall, the middle order still has to prove it can absorb pressure without slowing down.
