Our batting-lineup has been strengthened by the inclusion of Mahela Jayawardene and Kevin Pietersen, says Naman Ojha – Cricket News Update
The wicketkeeper of the Delhi Daredevils, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739.
Delhi finished bottom of the points table last year, and failed to make an impression in the tournament but they have made some new astute signings this year. The likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LRPL-Taylor-c1849, Jayawardene and Pietersen have come into the squad and
they are likely to make a massive difference in the current season.
Cricket analysts believe that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 has one of the strongest batting line-ups in the on-going season, but it remains to be seen if the Daredevils are able to deliver the goods or not.
Ojha himself is a very competent wicketkeeper batsman, and has been brilliant in the Indian Premier League (IPL) over the years, with his performances.
While commenting on his team’s chances in the on-going season, Ojha expressed his satisfaction over the two victories in the first three games, but claims that his team is going to play even with the inclusion of Jayawardene and Pietersen, who provide depth
in the batting department. The duo joined the Daredevils after the initial two matches due to their international commitments.
Ojha said, "It has been a good start, winning two out of three games. Now our middle-order is stronger. Last season, we had concerns but with Mahela and we have more confidence. The middle of the 2011 season, things weren’t going my way. This season, I am
enjoying it much more.”
The wicketkeeper opens the batting alongside his captain, Sehwag, and he said that it is a treat to watch the legend bat from such a short distance. Ojha admitted that it is extremely difficult for him to match the skills of Sehwag while batting alongside
him.
"Am getting to open, something which I enjoy a lot. Sometimes, while playing with Sehwag you feel inferior. Some the shots he plays, you watch awe. It gets difficult to hold yourself back while watching http://www.senore.com/Cricket/HA-Varaiya-c1520 paaji bat,” the wicketkeeper expressed while praising
his captain.
