Players to Watch….

Brendon McCullum

                        A Tailor-Made T20 Player who bats well and his wicket keeping is a handy one and a great athlete on the field.




VenuGopal Rao

                        Everybody knew he is a defensive player and he proved that in the previous versions of IPL but now he is one of the aggressive batsmen in the Delhi daredevils’ side.  And he is the 2nd highest run scorer for his team in this tournament.


Trivia

Ø      The 55-run margin of Kochi's defeat against Deccan was the largest in IPL 2011.
Ø      Delhi's 231 against Kings XI Punjab is the highest score of the season, evidence of what their batsmen can do.
Ø      Sehwag's strike-rate of 168 is the seasons highest for batsmen with at least 200 runs.


Mic Testing 1...2...3...

Mahela Jayawardane - "There was grass on the wicket, there was moisture too. I don't want to discuss the wicket factor too much, but it was not the wicket that we wanted."

Virendar Sehwag - “Nothing is impossible. If we still back ourselves and win one-or-two games, we’ll get the momentum, and then maybe it’ll be possible for us (to make it to the semis). But yes, it’s difficult and there’s a lot of pressure on Delhi now. We’re still trying to find a good combination for our side. We have to pull ourselves up and really bat and bowl well in the coming games. Hopefully, we’ll do well.”

Pitch Conditions



Ø      Unexpected Bouncing.
Ø      Helps the seamers, Chasing is the tough one.
