| Delhi Daredevils vs Mumbai Indians Post Match Presentation IPL 2013 #DDvsMI #DD #MI Posted: 21 Apr 2013 07:47 AM PDT Sehwag: ‘The winds of change blew towards Delhi. We were focused on staying fit and practising hard. The decision to open with Mahela clicked and it showed that he led from the front. If I bat well, I try to control my innings. Sir Viv Richards told me to overcome my fear and believe in myself.’ Sehwag is the Man of the Match Mahela: ‘Great effort by the boys. Showed a lot of character after losing 6 games. Viru batted really well, it was good to watch from the non striker’s end. We have to try and control what we can control. We cannot think about what the media is saying and that’s what we did. We can still improve. 160 was a good score but we needed a good start and we got that. Both of us enjoyed batting on that wicket.’ Ponting: ‘I’m not sure what happened! 161 was going to be a pretty competitive total. But we didn’t have any answers, especially in the first 6 overs. They got the momentum and they ran away with it. We thought if we could take a couple of wickets after the first 6 overs, we could come back but their opening stand was too good. We’ve lost 2 in a row but we know that things can change quickly. The ball didn’t swing, Johnson’s weapon is to get the ball in to the right hander. So that’s why we left him out. We also wanted Smith to open’  |
| Mumbai Indians wins toss, opts to bat vs Delhi Daredevils – IPL 2013 #MI #DD #DDvsMI Posted: 21 Apr 2013 03:27 AM PDT Toss: Mumbai have won the toss and elected to bat Ponting: ‘Captaincy has been a lot of fun. Would have been nice to have a couple of more wins. We have to try and bounce back today. We need to have consistency in our batting performances. In T20, it’s only 2 or 3 guys who score runs in a game. Hopefully a few more of us can score runs. It looks like a good surface and it should skid on nicely. The crowd is cheering because Sachin is going to be batting, it has nothing to do with me. Dwayne Smith, Munaf Patel and Bumrah are in. Johnson, Ojha and Rishi Dhawan are out.’ Mahela: ‘The franchise had already planned to get him down to India. He’s fantastic with the boys. We’ve had only 24 hours with him but he has contributed a lot and hopefully that’ll help us. We’ve dug ourselves into a hole and it’s up to us to come out of it. We’ve played some good cricket, so there is some confidence in the group. The pitch might slow down a bit later. The wickets have been pretty good here. Jeevan Mendis has got a bit of a sting in his finger. Morne Morkel is out. Juneja has been left out too. van der Merwe, Andre Russell and Venugopal Rao come in.’ Teams: Mumbai (Playing XI): Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting(c), Dinesh Karthik(w), Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard, Ambati Rayudu, Dwayne Smith, Harbhajan Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Lasith Malinga, Munaf Patel  |
