5 death-over specialists to watch for in IPL 2019

New Delhi, March 21 - The Indian Premier League (IPL) is considered to have a wide fan base and with games mostly going down the wire, it makes the league even more interesting. With several contests

Sunil Narine

Narine was one of the chief architects behind Kolkata Knight Riders' success in the IPL in 2012 and 2014.

The Caribbean spinner witnessed a rough patch when he was called for suspect action, forcing him to remodify his action. However, Kolkata Knight Riders didn't lose faith in Narine, as the franchise continued to back him. 

From 98 games in the IPL, Narine has scalped 112 wickets at an impressive economy rate of 6.53, a thing rarely seen in T20 cricket.

Trent Boult

The left-arm pacer from New Zealand has the ability to move the ball efficiently, which has troubled the opposition batsmen very often.

The Kiwi is once again expected to be a dependable option in the death overs for the Delhi Capitals. Boult had a great time in IPL 2018 after picking up 18 wickets from 14 games at an economy rate of under nine.

With his potential to bowl in the right areas and the ability to read the batsman's mind, Boult will be an asset to Delhi Capitals.
