With so much spotlight on the big stars, including Kevin Pietersen and Mahela Jayawardene, the issue ahead of Tuesday\u2019s encounter between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Daredevils at the Ferozeshah Kotla is not so much whether pacer Umesh Yadav will play or whether Virender Sehwag\u2019s team can make do with its near-anonymous spin attack, writes The Times Of India, <\/strong>adding that instead, the pressure is on the more established players to drag the team up by the bootstraps following its wooden-spoon finish last year. <\/p>\n

\u201cMahela and KP\u2019s return will boost us,\u201d Sehwag said. \u201cYoung players are looking forward to sharing the dressing room with them.\u201d <\/p>\n

Mahela, while acknowledging that the IPL was part fun and part serious business (\u201cit\u2019s 50-50\u201d), admitted there was a lot of pressure. \u201cBoth KP and I have a bigger responsibility on the field. Our responsibility is to perform and help Viru as much as possible on the field. For both of us, it\u2019s a good challenge,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile The Hindu <\/strong>writes that only last week Kevin Pietersen and Mahela Jayawardene were representing their countries in a see-saw Test series between England and Sri Lanka. This week they are wearing the Delhi Daredevils jerseys and backing the team in its first home game of IPL-V against Chennai Super Kings.<\/p>\n

The two stalwarts are thorough professionals and know well how to switch from one team to another or from one format to another.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought I had enough of him (Pietersen) last week, but we will have a few more weeks to spend together,\u201d said Jayawardene displaying his typical sense of humour, on Monday.<\/p>\n

Pietersen also had a laugh over how the two had turned from \u201ctotal enemies\u201d to teammates.<\/p>\n

Sehwag said that he was confident of beating the defending champions Chennai Super Kings in their first home match at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium on Tuesday. \u201cWe are looking to start our campaign in Delhi with a win tomorrow,\u201d reads a report in the DNA. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
