Virender Sehwag praises David Warner after win over Deccan Chargers - Cricket News Update
The triumphant skipper of Delhi Daredevils, Virender Sehwag, lavished praise on the belligerent David Warner after his side chased down the 188-run target set by Deccan chargers, quite comfortably with nine wickets
and 20 balls to spare.
Chasing a competitive total set by the lacklustre Chargers at their home ground, Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hyderabad-c792 on Thursday, the Daredevils rode on Australian import, David Warner’s whirlwind unbeaten
century to regain the top spot on IPL-V points table with a convincing nine-wicket win.
While speaking to the media reporters after the match, the swashbuckling Delhi opener admitted that 187 was not an easy total to chase down, however, he maintained that he had confidence in his batsmen.
“I was confident even after they scored over 180… I knew the kind of batting line-up we had, chasing 170-180 shouldn’t be difficult,” said http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739 at the post-match press conference.
“I must say 187 is not the easiest target to chase down. But David Warner made it look incredibly easy,” he added further.
Sehwag, who has been leading his side from the front consistently right from the start of the tournament, could score only four runs before being caught by Cameron White off http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Dhawan-c2392 on the second ball of the
chase.
“I was trying to hit it over long-on but mistimed,” the Delhi http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Paul-Anthony-Hibbert-c81005 said when asked about his dismissal.
“Actually, I failed to read the spin and ended up giving a catch in the covers… These things happen… Good that I got out early… Naman (Ojha) and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Warner-c1301 took the opportunity well and played brilliantly,” he added
further.
The swashbuckling http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 opener said that he goes into every format of the game with the same mindset, adding, “That’s the way I have grown up.”
The nine-wicket win over the Chargers propelled the Daredevils back to the top of the points table with 18 points in 12 games. Kolkata Knight Riders had dethroned the Daredevils earlier this week with a six-wicket win
at http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780. Now, with 17 points from an equal number of games, KKR find themselves second on the standings.
