Gambhir's absence is not good!


Delhi Daredevils: An attacking batting line-up, some really good names in the squad and experts say that this team has what it takes to win IPL. When we saw the first two matches played by the team, it seemed they certainly can climb up the points table. But, the team faced a halt and is down to Number 6 in the points tally. They have lost 3 matches in a row and are facing the jitters. What could be the reasons for these losses? When cricket fans spoke, they blamed the decisions taken after the toss, they blamed Dinesh Karthik's captaincy and even the absence of key players.

This IPL has been an "Injuries' Premier League" by far and has left some of the biggies out of the game. But the worst hit by these injuries has been Delhi Daredevils. As Ashish Nehra and Gautam Gambhir (captain) are off to Sri Lanka for their treatment, the team meanwhile has not managed to win a game. When asked, stand by captain, Dinesh Karthik said that he is missing Gautam Gambhir more than anybody else. (Acc. to iplt20.com) This one statement makes it clear that Gautam Gambhir is as important as a foundation stone. His being back in the team would help the team regain its confidence and probably its winning streak too. Me being a delhi daredevils fan, is eagerly waiting for Gauti to get back and get DDs back on track. I feel, though Gauti's absence is not the only reason for Delhi's 3 losses in a row, but it certainly is a MAJOR reason.
