Swashbuckling Indian opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739, who has been rested for the ongoing Asia Cup tournament with an undisclosed injury, is upbeat about Delhi Daredevils’ Indian Premier League prospects in the upcoming season five of the lucrative IPL.
Speaking to media reporters on Thursday, Sehwag, who captains the Daredevils in the Twenty20 league, expressed his satisfaction over the squad at his disposal for the latest edition of the league. The hard-hitting Indian opener believes that if the side
plays to its potential then they can easily make it to the tournament play-offs.
"I clearly asked for specific players and got them, especially http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andre-Dwayne-Russell-c44235. Hopefully, we will deliver and live up to the expectations of the Delhi Daredevils supporters," said Virender Sehwag, who missed
the latter stages of the lucrative league last year due to a shoulder injury.
Sehwag was happy to have a lot of Indian bowlers in the Daredevils attack and is looking forward to fill the foreign players’ quota with batsmen.
"I think it is good that we have a lot of Indian bowlers in the attack. I can then give the chance to foreign batsmen to be a part of the eleven,” said the Delhi http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Paul-Anthony-Hibbert-c81005.
The bowling options for the Daredevils in the upcoming IPL 5 include the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahbaz-Nadeem-c89339. Sehwag did rue the absence of a quality spinner in his bowling arsenal. He, however, said that they will be looking
forward to exploit the opposition batting line-up with the firepower in the pace department.
"Basically T20 is a batsman's game and if the bowlers can restrict the opposition to 150 or 160 or even 180, we can chase that down with the kind of batting we have got," the 33-year-old right-handed top order batsman said.

Daredevils will play their tournament opener against the Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on April 5.
