Dilshan keeps the "DIL(Spirit)" and "SHAN(pride)" of the dare devils alive...



Sunday saw a fixture between two evenly matched sides at port Elizabeth. It was a clash between the Delhi Dare Devils and Royal Challengers.Earlier,the royals won the toss and elected to bat.The royal challengers were loosing wickets at regular intervals and things became worse as the royals did not have their main batsmen(Dravid) in the team.It was as if Jack and Jill tumbling up the hill.The royals posted a score of 150 with some good batting from K.P(37), Taylor(31). Boucher's knock of 36(28) was like a life line.He was ably supported by virat kohli.They posted a 61 run patnership that fuelled the royals to a respectable 150.
Later in the day Delhi once again lost their Scintillating openers for a cheap score.Even ABD couldnt come to terms.But there was one man who was determined to give not even an inch.It was Dilshan the srilankan ratna(jewel) who stood on the pitch as if he had the tilak of victory.He paired up with Mithun Manhas(22) to post a match winning partnership. He definitely showed the dare devil that was in him to kp and company.He errupted as a valcano.The flow of his lava(runs) was such that he made 67 in just 47 balls.Kp was in the depression of one more victory where as sehwag was happy for the hatrick.One mans win is others loss.
