Adam Gilchrist, set the centurion stadium ablaze, with his whirlwind innings of eighty five runs in meer thirty five balls, to leave Delhi bowlers gasping for breath and also to propel his team to the final,s in this edition of IPL.
Earlier Delhi batted first but only, to lose their two openers Gautham Gammbhir and David Warner, without any iota of trouble to scorers, in the first over of Ryan Harris. Virender Shewag and Dilshan came to the rescue of Delhidare devils, where they played fluently without bothered about the loss of their openers and romped their team to eighty two valuable runs at the strategy break.
But Virender Shewag went to pavilion after trying to fiddle, with the staright delivery of Andrew Symonds and got out at the wrong time, just when it looked like he is well set, for a big score.
Even though other batsmen, who followed like Ab De villers, Dinesh Kaarthick got going with boundaries, they were restrained by some good combined bolwing, by likes of Andrew Symonds, Ryan Harris and Harmeet Singh.
Dilshan carried his rampant form, as well as confidence in this innings, where he made a valuable sixty five runs in fifty one balls and knitted the innings, to take Delh,i to a respectable total of one hundred and fifty runs , which Delhi could have taken given their horrible opening start.
Adam Gilchrist and Hershelle Gibbs came, to the middle, with clear – cut target; it was Gilchrist day in the centurion right from the first over, where he clouted Dirk Nannes first over for five consecutive boundaries and in the process enervated all the Delhi blwers about impending Deccan storm.
Gilchirst was in such a rampant form that he emulated the IPL fastest fifty records held by Yusuf Pathan and made sure that he overshadowed the loss of Gibbs for duck and he did the most of the Deccan Chargers scoring, where he made eighty five runs in their first hundred runs.
It was a bad day for Virender Shewag in the office, where he almost went to oblivion about his bolwer by name Rajat Bhtaia, who scripted a match winning spell against this very same team in the league matches and he brought himself on within power plays and gifted three huge consecutive sixes to his opposition captain.
Even though Amit Mishra bowled well for Delhi Daredevils in the end, to take the three wickets the damage has been already done and Delhi suffered a humiliating six wicket loss and also an abrupt end to their IPl dream.
