With no support from the Indian contingent in the team, the responsibility of setting up the pace would again be on him along with Chris Gayle. Kohli isnot perfoming. their bowling attack is so poor.

Deccan Chargers Vs Kings XI Punjab at Hyderabad

The Indian Premier League (IPL) : Today the match begins with Kings XI Punjab clashing with Deccan Chargers at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal, Hyderabad. Kings XI Punjab have developed a reputation of being one of the best teams on the road, beating four of the top five teams in away matches. Hope so it will be insteresting to see how deccan react in their home ground.

Kings XI Punjab : The team has ten points from 11 matches, and is still trying to hold on to the ray of hope they have of qualification for the playoffs. They are still waiting on the fitness of their regular captain, Adam Gilchrist, who has missed their previous six matches with hamstring problems. If he is fit in today's game, Kings XI will have a difficult choice to  make  which of their overseas players to leave out.

Shaun Marsh is again expected to be the front man with the bat while Ryan Harris’ four wickets would have given him much-needed confidence as well. zhar Mahmood’s resurgence as an all-rounder cannot be discounted either but captain David Hussey needs to improve his own form before expecting the same from his teammates.

Kings XI Punjab squad : AC Gilchrist(C), P Awana, KJ Abbott, L Ablish, Amit Yadav, Azhar Mahmood, BA Bhatt, Bipul Sharma, PP Chawla, SD Chitnis, BCJ Cutting, P Dogra, JP Faulkner, Gurkeerat Singh, Harmeet Singh, RJ Harris, DJ Hussey, P Kumar, VS Malik, Mandeep Singh, SE Marsh, AD Mascarenhas, DA Miller, AM Nayar, RR Powar, NJ Rimmington, N Saini, SJ Srivastava, Sunny Singh, PC Valthaty

The Indian Premier League (IPL) : Today the match begins with Pune Warriors clashing with Rajasthan Royals at Subrata Roy Sahara Stadium, Pune. Pune Warriors have a disappointing season, not unlike the previous one, to reflect on. The season began with much promise, with three wins in the first four games. The next eight have brought seven losses. Rajasthan Royals gave their chances of making the top four a boost with a big win over Kings XI Punjab.

Rajasthan Royals : With there last win over kings XI Punjab by 43 runs. His hoping in top four is alive. Dravid in fantastic form. This is already Rahul Dravid's most prolific IPL season, with 379 runs, bettering his return of 371 in 2008. On the other hand, five changes in last match will be working for royals. Tait & watson bowled really well in last match.

Rahane is also impressive with this season. Last nyt Sehwag hitting 23 runs & taking Orange cap. But everybody hoping today rahane hit some smashing shots & take the orange cap. Shane Watson to turn in a match-winning performance, against Kings XI. Thirty-six runs at a strike-rate of 211.76 and two wickets at an economy-rate of 5.50. His class is the boost a flagging Royals campaign needed.

Delhi Daredevils Vs Kolkata Knight Riders at Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi

The Indian Premier League (IPL) : Today the match begins with Delhi Daredevils clashing with Kolkata Knight Riders at Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi. Only one point separates Delhi Daredevils from Kolkata Knight Riders and a win for the Knight Riders will take them to the lead. Both teams are playing Fabulas in their last couple of matches. Both captains in their home groun. Looking to see interesting match tonight.

Delhi Daredevills : One bad news for Delhi is Kevin Pieterson is left out, smashing 305 runs in eight innings, including a century. Pietersen will join England for the home series against West Indies, but his replacement is the equally intimidating David Warner. He's starting with the Kotla, which has been a high-scoring venue this season.

Virender Sehwag played fantastic in this IPL 5. He hit consistently five fifties in a row.Virender Sehwag needs 18 more runs to overtake Ajinkya Rahane for the Orange Cap in this IPL. Hope so he will get it today. With 91 runs from seven innings, Daredevils' Ross Taylor is yet to show up. Fortunately, his lack of form hasn't affected the team's results. But in Pietersen's absence, Taylor's role will be important.

Delhi Daredevils squad : V Sehwag(C), MC Juneja, VR Aaron, AB Agarkar, P Bisht, R Bist, GH Bodi, DAJ Bracewell, U Chand, AJ Finch, DPMD Jayawardene, GJ Maxwell, M Morkel, S Nadeem, Y Nagar, PT Naik, P Negi, NV Ojha†, IK Pathan, KP Pietersen, KC Raval, AD Russell, AM Salvi, LRPL Taylor, RE van der Merwe, Y Venugopal Rao, Vikas Mishra, DA Warner, TP Yadav, UT Yadav, Zafir Patel
