Virender Sehwag with Gautam Gambhir, the Delhi Daredevils opener forms one half of one of the most destructive opening combinations in world cricket. Viru keeps batting simple and spanks the ball fearlessly. His presence boosts the morale of his team and his excellent eye-hand co-ordination makes him a dangerous customer. Apart from being an attacking batsman, he is more than a handy off-spinner and has been known to use his wiles to both, check the flow of runs, and take wickets too. He has stepped down from captaincy handing the reins over to his opening partner Gautam Gambhir. An ominous sign for bowlers since Viru will now be wholly devoted to batting, the burden of leadership off his shoulders.
