Prior to this season I hadn't watched the IPL, partly because I am not a big fan of T20 and partly because as an Englishman I thought I would only have limited interest in what is an Indian domestic league. I live in France and like football, but have no interest in the French football league.
This season I thought I'd give the IPl a go and decided to support the Delhi Daredevils. I wasn't overly impressed with the opening ceremony or the first match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Deccan Chargers. But I decided to persevere and last night I got my reward.
Firstly, Delhi Daredevils won their second successive match - this time against Rajasthan Royals. But much, much better than that was watching Virender Sehwag pulverise the Royals bowling attack in blasting 75 off only 34 balls. Sometimes Viru is more like a cluster bomb than a mere batsman.
I could get used to this IPL thing...
