Delhi have several allrounders in their squad but  they lack a top-class Indian batsman, apart from Virender Sehwag. They  also have only one spinner in their roster of 17 players - Roelof van  der Merwe. The batting line-up, however, is solid, and in Sehwag and  David Warner, they perhaps have the most explosive opening combination  of the IPL. They bought back only four players of their old squad and  bid aggressively against Deccan Chargers for a lot of players.  Squad  Batsmen: Virender Sehwag (retained), David Warner ($750,000),  Aaron Finch ($300,000), Venugopal Rao ($700,000), Travis Birt ($20,000),  Colin Ingram ($100,000)Bowlers: Morne Morkel ($475,000), Ajit Agarkar ($210,000), Ashok Dinda ($375,000), Umesh Yadav ($750,000), Robert Frylinck ($20,000)Allrounders: Irfan Pathan ($1.9m), James Hopes ($350,000), Roelof van der Merwe ($50,000), Andrew McDonald ($80,000)Wicketkeepers: Naman Ojha ($270,000), Matthew Wade ($100,000)</blockquote>
