Virender Sehwag opts to bat against Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Virender-Sehwag-c95429, the Delhi Daredevils captain won the toss and opted to bat against Rajasthan Royals today at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur.
The swashbuckling opener hoped the side would recover from the batting collapse it faced against Mumbai Indians in the opening game on 10th April. He also backed his bowlers and said that 140-150 runs chase would be a defendable
sum.
“I want runs on board,” said Sehwag after winning the toss. “If you see 140 150 is winning score in this IPL. It will take time to gel .. hopefully in three-four games we shall get going really well as a team," he added further.
Shane Warne has, however, described the Jaipur wicket a test for the bowlers. Shane Warne has returned to the field after a gap of one year, and admittedly, will take a few games to regain his best form. Warne, nonetheless, insisted
on an improved form and hoped it would pick up as the tournament proceeds.
“My form is not too bad. I haven't been fit since I was 12! Hopefully i will get better and better," said the leg-spin prodigy of international cricket.
The star-studded Delhi top-order, which was unable to endure Lasith Malinga’s toe-crushing yorkers on Sunday, would have to contend with Australian pacer, Shaun Tait, who has been called in for an injured Jacob Oram. Rajasthan Royals
have also pitched in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stuart-Binny-c2589.
Warne has high hopes attached to the Tait-led pace attack and was hopeful his bowlers would make dents in the opposition’s top order in the first six overs.
Delhi, on the other hand, has made only one change in their squad that played http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians in the tournament opener by bringing in left-arm spinner, Shahbaz Nadeem for seamer Umesh Yadav.
Squads:
