The Giants boast of maximum players from their lineup in the top rankings of the ICL stats for both the batting and bowling departments in the recently concluded ICL 50's.
Their impressive performance in the previous editions makes the capital city team one of the main contenders for the March edition of the ICL 20s Grand Championship. The Delhi Giant's batting revolves around the Sri-Lankan maestro, Marvan Attapatu ably supported by the impressive JP Yadav, MD Mishra & Abhinav Bali.
The inclusion of attacking left hand opener Avishka Gunawardane & wicketkeeper batsman Nic Pothas makes the giant batting lineup the most inform lineup leading to the tournament.
Shane Bond's entry into the ICL with the Delhi Giants side will surely stir & shake a few opposition batsmen at the Grand Championship. Bond's partnership with Abid Nabi & spin sensation Ali Murtaza ably supported by the off breaks of the experienced Dale Benkenstien gives the Giant's bowling attack all the right ingredients to breakthrough any opposition batting.
With the team at their disposal, the Giants would look to lay their hands on the Grand Championship trophy which they have narrowly missed in the two previous editions.
