They have won match in home. They too are back from one defeat. Only time will tell who is going to win. Its 20/20 anybody can win. 3 overs can make upside down of the match.

Delhi Daredevils vs Bangalore Royal Challengers is going to be today at Feroz Shah Kotla ground in Delhi. Royal Challengers are in a do or die situation after loosing 3 out of 4 matches played so far. This could be the last opportunity to prove “Duniya Hila Deyenge Hum“. On the other hand Delhi DareDevil’s winning streak was broken by Kings XI and now they are all ready to take the challenge. In order to focus more on cricket they have even decided to call off the cheerleaders and we hope this might prove to be successful for them.

Meet our Viru
Born 20 October 1978, in Delhi) also known as "Viru" is an Indian cricketer (batsman) and member of the Indian national cricket team since 1999 (one-dayers) and 2001 (Tests). He is an extremely attacking right-handed opening batsman and an occasional right-arm off-spin bowler. He is the record holder for the highest score made by an Indian in Test cricket in a single innings (319), the fastest triple century in Test cricket (reached 300 off only 278 balls) and is the only Indian to score a triple century in Test Cricket. He is one of the only three players to have scored two triple hundreds, along with Don Bradman and Brian Lara.

He was appointed as vice-captain of the Indian team under Rahul Dravid in October 2005, until poor form saw him replaced by V. V. S. Laxman in December 2006 as Test vice captain and January 2007 saw him dropped from the ODI team and later from the test team as well. During his term as Vice-captain, Sehwag skippered the team in place of injured Dravid in 2 ODIs and 1 Test Match.

Sehwag married Aarti Alhawat in April, 2004 under heavy security in a media publicized wedding which was hosted by Arun Jaitley, the union law minister of India at his residence. The couple have a son, born on October 18th 2007. [89]

Sehwag is fondly referred to in the media as the Nawab of Najafgarh, Najafgarh being his home locality in Delhi. A lifelong vegetarian, Sehwag owns a vegetarian eatery, Sehwag Favourites, which opened in late 2005 in the Fun Republic cineplex in Delhi, following the footsteps of his role model Sachin Tendulkar. The majority of the products on the menu are named after cricketing themes related to his memorable innings, such as Multan Ke Sultan Ki Tikdi, meaning dish for three persons, which alludes to his triple century in Multan and is priced at 309 rupees. There are plans to expand the chain across India with a second outlet already planned in Ludhiana. Sehwag does charity work for UNICEF
