Deccan Chargers skipper Kumar Sangakkara hints at changes in squad against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 Daredevils
The Deccan Chargers captain, Kumar Sangakkara, hinted at fielding an altered squad when they play Delhi Daredevils in a crucial, must win IPL game at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hyderabad-c792 on Thursday, 5th of May.
"Changes have to happen in the team at any stage, especially in a tournament like the IPL because you have to get certain kind of rhythm”, said Sangakkara, while talking to the media reporters on the eve of their game against struggling Daredevils. “At the
same time, to break bad habits you cannot keep going with an unchanged side", he added.
Both Deccan and Delhi are placed in the bottom half of the points table with six points from nine games each and need to win all of their remaining five matches of the league stage to keep their hopes of making final four alive.
Sangakkara conceded that they have their backs to the walls and every next game would be a must win for them. To ensure Deccan win all of the ensuing ties, the desperate Sri Lankan said "calculated and intelligent changes" is the need of the hour
"Sometimes, the induction of a new player might kickstart what we need. So changes at any time are necessary”, said the former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 captain.
"We have been making changes in the team according to the opposition and the wicket. This is going to be no different but drastic changes is not the way to go about it. Calculated and intelligent changes are the way to go", he added.
The Islander urged his men not to get distracted by their current position at the points table. He said all that they need right now is to believe in themselves and play in the remaining matches with confidence.
Sangakkara added that they are a good team but unfortunately could not convert that into winning performances with consistency. He hailed his bowling armoury, as the best attack in the league - both in pace and spin. He said that the only area where they
lacked in the tournament so far is overall all-round performance.
