Chennai: With Sachin Tendulkar set to play all matches in the second edition of the Indian Premier League, Delhi Daredevils vice-president (cricket) T A Sekar on Saturday tipped Mumbai Indians to reach the May 24 final.
And according to him, giving the Mumbai team fight in the final could be the Daredevils.
The former India bowler and national selector rated Mumbai Indians as the strongest and predicted a Mumbai-Delhi final in the lucrative Twenty20 league to be held in South Africa from April 18.
"Mumbai Indians are the best compared to the other six teams. Zaheer is bowling really well and JP Duminy will strengthen the team," said Sekar.
"They will be missing Shaun Pollock who bowled superbly and also chipped in with the bat in some of their matches last year. Dwayne Bravo will also not be available for them in their initial matches. But the biggest plus is Sachin's availability.
"He did not play all the matches last year due to injury but this time he is not only fit but is in a solid state with the bat," Sekar said.
The former pacer also has high hopes for Delhi Daredevils making the final.
