Delhi Daredevils In 2010 IPL Season
Delhi Daredevils started the 2010 IPL Season with a bang. They won the first two league matches against Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals. The dual blasting pair of Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir made a great start to the season, but the team lost their match against the Mumbai Indians. Their performance in the whole season then faced equal highs and lows, ultimately making a tally of seven win and seven losses in the table, which was why they couldn’t make it to semi-finals.
Delhi Daredevils is back for the new season of IPL 2011. They have the required firepower in the form of blaster batsman Virender Sehwag. Team will play fourteen matches in this season starting with their first match with Mumbai Indians in their home ground Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi.
