http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Paul-Valthaty-c2170 vs. David Warner: IPL4
The sizzling Indian Premier League (IPL) fourth edition, which includes a combination of players from different cricket teams, is running at its peak attracting
the attention of fans all around the world.
The 26th match of the League will be played between Kings XI Punjab and Delhi Daredevils on April 23, at Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi. Both teams have
played four matches so far and their win-loss ratio shows a huge difference in their performances.
Kings XI Punjab, under the captaincy of legendry Australian cricketer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adam-Gilchrist-c918, did not have a stable start, as they lost their first match to debutant
Pune Warrriors. However, learning from their initial defeat, they earned three consecutive wins in their next clashes against the Chennai Super Kings, Deccan Chargers and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajasthan-c837 Royals respectively.
On the other side, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Virender-Sehwag-c95429, took a poor start with two successive defeats and
then enjoyed a victory over Pune Warriors, while in the next match they were again thrashed by the Deccan Chargers.
Both the teams have a variety of players in their line-ups including experienced players as well as young talent from overseas.
Paul Valthaty is http://www.senore.com/Cricket/A-Young-c41367 player from the India, who earned fame after hitting a splendid century for Kings XI Punjab in the ongoing season. He has not been featured
in any international cricket including Tests and One-Day Internationals. The right-handed batsman has also been the part of Under-19 squad in World Cup 2002.
He was first bought by Rajasthan Royals in the 2009 edition of the IPL, where he gave some eye catching performances. As a result, he was called by Mumbai’s
Twenty20 side and gave some outstanding performances there as well. Following this, he was contracted by Kings XI Punjab in 2011. Playing 15 Twenty20 matches, he has scored 505 runs at an average of 36.07 including one century and two fifties.
Valthtay also serves as a useful right-arm medium pacer, and in seven Twenty20 innings, has claimed eight wickets, including his best bowling innings of 4/29.
He is also giving notable performances in the ongoing series and has much more to offer Punjab Kings in the upcoming matches of the League.
David Warner is considered one of the most destructive opening batsmen in the league and made his Twenty20 debut with a bang with a marvellous 89 runs off 43
balls against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823, he set the record of 165 runs and then continued his performance in the FR Cup scoring remarkable 97 runs of 54 balls.
The big-hitter earned a name for himself in the short format of the game. In the year 2006-07, he became the leading run-scorer in Australia’s under-19 tour
of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 and continued to play in the Under-19 World Cup. Playing 25 Twenty20 Internationals, he has scored 706 runs at an average of 28.24 including four fifties. In the IPL 2011 season, David was signed by the Delhi Daredevils for $750,000.
Although, playing at home should be an advantage for the Daredevils, unfortunately they have remained unsuccessful in their first two games. The win-loss comparison
of both the teams shows that it would be hard for Daredevils to stand in front of mighty Punjab.
