Players to Watch….

Ajit Agarkar

                        Indian Bowling All-Rounder who swings beautifully in the both new and old ball… to wait to get another chance to play for DD against his Pre-Team KKR.

E Morgan

                        Great aggressive batsmen at the slog overs using his beautiful Reverse Sweep against the Pace bowlers, he is struggling to get a rhythm. He may get a place and he will do well.. 

Trivia

Ø      Venugopal Rao has scored 190 runs in this IPL, the most for Delhi after David Warner

Ø      Delhi had the most ducks in an IPL innings, five, until Kochi got six against Deccan Chargers.

                                                             

                                    

Once Upon a Time…

A Agarkar(KKR---> DD)

A Dinda(KKR---> DD)

G Gambhir(DD---> KKR)

R Bhatia(DD---> KKR)

Mic Testing 1..2..3..

V Sehwag - "They cut a lot of grass, which we didn't want, but we have to carry on with whatever wicket we get."

Dav Whatmore(Coach of KKR) - "I believe it is unfair to single out Rajat because I don't think he has got decent enough opportunities where he could have made a difference. He is as valuable a player as others."

Yusf Pathan - "We are also fortunate that Gautam (Gambhir) is leading the side by example. I made a comeback into the Indian team under his captaincy in the last home series against New Zealand, and am now looking forward to a good performance in the IPL."

Pitch Conditions

F Kotla

Ø      Bouncy pitch.

Ø      No unnecessary grasses.

Ø      Helps the seamers, and little bit of Batsmen favor.
