Delhi Daredevils vs Kolkata Knight Riders in the second match of the 2012 version of the IPL on Friday.
While the Knight Riders have only in the last period discovered their footing in league, the tale has been the actual reverse for Sehwag's Daredevils.
After having completed last in the past version, the Delhi outfit will look to get off to a successful begin to set the strength for the rest of the competition.
The Daredevils however were worked a essential strike after Kiwi Ross Taylor was ousted due to an injury. And in the lack of Mahela Jayawardene and Kevin Pietersen, the team could have very well done with his service.
But where the team drops out on hitting it creates up for in all-rounders and bowlers.
Andre Russell, Daredevils' newest recruit from Western Indies, is a sure beginning given his latest spate of shows against australia.
Apart from Pradeep Sangwan, Sehwag's best bowling bet would be speedster Umesh Yadav after Varun Aaron too will be unavailable for the game.
Knight Riders too have spent wisely to add West Indian Sunil Narine to their ranks. His performance for Trinidad and Tobago in the 2011 Champions League T20 will give Gambhir the confidence to play him right away.
And with South African Marchant de Lange in the bowling unit, Knight Riders also boast of a solid batting line up. Domestic stars Manvinder Bisla, Laxmi Ratan Shukla and Manoj Tiwary give stability to the power-packed batting.
All-rounders Yusuf Pathan and Jacques Kallis are capable of piling on the runs and holding fort whenever required.
All in all, the game promises to be a thrilling encounter between bat and ball. While Knight Riders look favourites going into the home clash, it will be interesting to see if they hold on against the Daredevil attack.
