Delhi Daredevils skipper Virender Sehwag come in defence of Irfan Pathan, after his team's 16-run overcome to Deccan Chargers in the IPL on Tuesday.
Pathan accepted 28 runs for a lonely wicket in his four overs and could score only five runs as the Daredevils worn-out to their second beat at the Ferozshah Kotla stadium, their home ground, and third in the event.
The Baroda player's presentation in the IPL so far has been anything but inspiring.
"He is coming from damage and will take some time. He is coming back after a one-and-a-half-year lay-off year and he chosen up an early wicket. He gave just about 30 runs in four overs. He is receiving better day by day," Sehwag said of the stressed all-rounder.
Sehwag also said that it was hard to chase a firm total at the Kotla wicket."Wicket has been like that for many years. It is not easy to chase 160-170 on this wicket. You have to apply manually, have to give a good start to your team, which unluckily didn't happen," he said."We did ask to get ready a couple of wickets but this is what we get," he added.
Asked about Yogesh Nagar who bowled just one over for 13 runs, Sehwag reasoned that the Delhi player is additional of a batting all-rounder. "He played as a batsman who is able to bowl," he said.
But the India opener admits that his team lacked options in bowling, particularly in the spin section. "We don't have many options, don't have sufficient experience. Hope, we can find an important person who can play for Delhi in coming years," he said.
