Delhi face cheerful Rajasthan



Delhi Daredevils were surrounded by the pre-tournament favorites in each of the first three seasons of the IPL. They also begin each of the first three seasons with victories. This time, though, they have been questions over the power of their squad, and they started with a big beat to Mumbai Indians. The only plus from their opening game was the middle-order batting of Venugopal Rao and Naman Ojha; the pair put up some confrontation after the crowd-pullers at the top had flop. 

On Tuesday, Delhi come up next to an opponent who seem to have the weakest team on paper, especially in the nonappearance of Shane Watson, who is away in Bangladesh where he broke the record for hitting the most sixes in a one-day innings. 

As usual, in their opening game against Deccan Chargers, Rajasthan relied on their low-profile Indian players to supply solid performance. Amit Singh and Siddharth Trivedi delivered, taking three wickets apiece, while Shane Warne showed little sign of being away from cricket for a year with a correct spell of legspin bowling, which fetch him two wickets.
