Chennai, May 11 (PTI) Admitting that losing captain Virender Sehwag is a big blow for the struggling Delhi Daredevils, coach Greg Shipperd said they face an uphill task as they take on a formidable Chennai Super Kings in an Indian Premier League match here tomorrow.
While Delhi struggled for a major part of the tournament, whatever little they achieved was due to Sehwag’s brilliance, and the big-hitting opener’s absence would surely be felt.
“Viru’s absence will be a huge loss for us as he is the holder of Orange cap. He fired in each of the matches that we won. He would be missed both as a captain and a key player,” said Shipperd in a pre-match media conference today.
“It is going to be a very tough assignment for us to beat the Super Kings in their home ground.
