Sehwag-The One Man Army.

   An incredible century by Delhi Daredevils captain Virendar Sehwag helped them to have a win over Deccan Chargers by four wickets with one over to spare and kept them alive in the hunt. Deccan's opening bowlers Dale Steyn and Ishant Sharma fired early in the Daredevil's innings and reduced them to 25 runs for three wickets. But Sehwag was not in a mood to surrender before them as he freed his arms in the sixth over of the innings. In that over of the debutant Ishan Malhotra he scored  23 runs and kept the match alive. In the tenth over Deccan got a very good chance to come back to the match but Ankit Sharma drooped Sehwag's catch as he was there with just 54 runs. If he had taken that catch then I'm sure the match result would have changed.Then Sehwag hadn't any option and he completed all in a jiffy and in a style.He played some sensational shots to which was very much rewarded by the crowd.

   Earlier Deccan Chargers winning the toss elected to bat first which was very much justified by their batsmen and scored a huge total of 175 runs. J P Duminy stars the Deccan's innings as he scored his first half-century (55) runs and had a brilliant partnership with Dan Christian (27) , the duo making 71 runs partnership in 39 balls.
