A magnificent 94 not out from Virender Sehwag sealed a comfortable victory for Delhi Daredevils over the Deccan Chargers at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
Sehwag hit his 94 from just 41 balls including 10 boundaries and 6 maximums as Delhi reached the winning target set by Hyderabad for the loss of just one wicket.
Hyderabad opened the batting with Rohit Sharma scoring an heroic 66 from just 36 balls but good bowling from Glenn McGrath, Mohammad Asif, Farheez Maharoof and Rajat Bhatia restricted Hyderabad to just 142-8. Shahid Afridi and Andrew Symonds were kept unusually quiet.
In reply the Daredevils always looked comfortable despite losing the early wicket of Gautam Gambhir. Sehwag and Shikhar Dhawan finished unbeaten to guide Delhi to the 9 wicket win. The second win of the tournament for the Daredevils whilst Hyderabad are yet to get off the mark.
Final result from Hyderabad: Delhi Daredevils beat the Hyderabad Chargers by 9 wickets.
Sehwag is one of the greatest players of all time. I just loved watching him score smashing 94 runs against Deccan Chargers. I am sure that he along with rest of the daredevils is going to rock in this tournament. I was surprised to see the way they were preparing themselves before the big game. They really worked hard http://www.youtube.com/user/ipldelhidaredevils
