‘Lethal’ Pathan claims Sehwag

New Delhi: Delhi were off to a disastrous start as Irfan Pathan struck off his very first delivery to send back Virender Sehwag for a duck.

The dashing opener was caught by Reetinder Sodhi at midwicket off a mistimed shot.

Delhi Daredevils skipper Gautam Gambhir won the toss and elected to bat first in their Indian Premier League game against Kings XI Punjab to be played here at the Feroz Shah Kotla today.

There is a good piece of news for the Delhi fans as seamer Ashish Nehra is back in the side in place of Pradeep Sangwan.

Punjab, on the other hand, are without the services of Brett Lee. So, in comes Juan Theron.

Teams:

Delhi Daredevils: David Warner, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir (c), Paul Collingwood, Dinesh Karthik (w/k), Mithun Manhas, Daniel Vettori, Rajat Bhatia, Amit Mishra, Farveez Maharoof, Ashish Nehra

Kings XI Punjab: Adrian Barath, Kumar Sangakkara (c & w/k), Mahela Jayawardene, Yuvraj Singh, Juan Theron, Karan Goel, Irfan Pathan, Reetinder Sodhi, Piyush Chawla, Ramesh Powar, Love Ablish
