NEW DELHI: Delhi Daredevils' skipper Virender Sehwag may have been smashing bolwers around the park for years now. But never in the last ten years, the Najafgarh Dasher played out six deliveries without having scored a single run.
But on Sunday, Sehwag for the first time in 10 years spoke about the one maiden over he was forced to play.
Mumbai Indians' Lasith Malinga bowled Sehwag a maiden during Indians' eight wicket win on Sunday.
"I think after 10 years I played a maiden today. It was a plan. We lost two wickets so I thought let me play Malinga because others may not be able to pick him.
"We have 10 new faces in the in Delhi squad and it will take a little time for us to come together," Sehwag said.
The Daredevils, playing their first match in this edition in their home ground Feroze Shah Kotla, crashed to an eight wicket defeat with fast bowler Malinga picking his best IPL figures of 5-13.
Sehwag said they were 30-40 runs short but hoped that his inexperienced side will come out good in the coming matches.
"A 140-150 is a good total here, but everything went Mumbai's way."
