Shone in IPL 2010, but isn't exactly a  big-name star, or a local player who will pull the crowds in. One that got away: Gambhir (bid $1.8m), Kallis (bid $1m), Ross Taylor (bid $0.95m)  This was another franchise which bet big on young Indian batting talent,  and it reflected in their decision to retain Kohli and to aggressively  pursue Saurabh Tiwary and Cheteshwar Pujara. In each of the first three  seasons, Delhi's formidable squad made them pre-tournament favourites.  Bangalore have now poached most of Delhi's erstwhile overseas talent -  explosive and experienced top-order batting pair of Tillakaratne Dilshan  and AB de Villiers, fast bowler Dirk Nannes and allrounder Daniel  Vettori. It is a strong squad but the worries are the shortage of  multi-skilled players and spinners. The owners would have also liked  more local flavour in the outfit: the only Karnataka player they have  currently is Abhimanyu Mithun. Expect them to go all out to secure  Manish Pandey's services.   SquadBatsmen: Virat Kohli (retained), Saurabh Tiwary ($1.6m),  Cheteshwar Pujara ($700,000), Tillakaratne Dilshan ($650,000), Mohammad  Kaif ($130,000), Luke Pomersbach ($50,000), Rilee Rossouw ($20,000),  Jonathan Vandiar ($20,000)Bowlers: Zaheer Khan ($900,000), Dirk Nannes ($650,000),  Abhimanyu Mithun ($260,000), Charl Langeveldt ($140,000), Nuwan Pradeep  ($20,000)Allrounders: Daniel Vettori ($550,000), Johan van der Wath ($50,000)Wicketkeepers: AB de Villiers ($1.1m)</blockquote>
