Big-hitting India opener Virender Sehwag has blasted Delhi Daredevils to a comfortable six-wicket win over Shane Warne’s Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League in Ahmedabad on Monday.
Sehwag hammered 75 off just 34 balls as the Daredevils easily chased down the Royals’ under-par total of 6/141, finishing with a score of 4/142 with 17 balls to spare.
Warne’s side, who won the competition in 2008, were restricted by some tight bowling from the Daredevils, with Abhishek Jhunjhunwala top scoring with 54 off 45 balls.
Australia’s Dirk Nannes was once again impressive and grabbed 1-27 off his four overs for the Daredevils.
The Royals’ total never looked big enough with Sehwag at the crease, as the Indian superstar clubbed five sixes and eight fours in his entertaining knock.
Australian fast bowler Shaun Tait endured a difficult evening for the Royals, bowling four wides as he finished with figures of 0-28.
Warne took the wicket of South Africa’s AB De Villiers, to peg back the Daredveils, before Dinesh Karthik (23no) and Mithun Manhas (11no) guided their side to an emphatic victory.
On Tuesday, Bangalore host Punjab and Kolkota play Matthew Hayden’s Chennai Super Kings in Kolkota.
