The journey of Delhi Daredevils team on the road to winning the title finally stops this Sunday. The team had to even face utter humiliation in the form of ninth straight defeat by Kings XI Punjab. The team has been facing constant defeats in the preceding seasons as well. But this season proved to be the worst for them. The reason behind this could be many ranging from including lack of concentration to missing of team spirit amongst its member players.
It was also seen that the decision of the management in hiring a totally new team this season couldn’t prove to be gainful with just a win of two matches and rest being defeated out of 14 matches which they played. Daredevils were considered as one of the strongest teams in the initial seasons of the Indian Premier league involving strong player like Virendra Sehwag as a Captain.The team made a poor score of just 115 runs out of 18.1 over’s on getting all-out in its last match against Punjab.
Punjab suffered few drawbacks in the initial part of the game when Sehwag got out with just 9 runs and worst of all Glenn Maxwell got out on duck scoring not a single run. But thanks to players like Manan Vohra and David Miller leading to victory for the Punjab team and that to in just 13.5 over’s. Throughout the season Punjab is performing quite well in terms of batting and on the other hand when it comes to bowling they are improving bit by bit.
For Daredevils we wish they come-back with a bang in the next season.
