Skipper Sehwag is due for a big score and MSD &amp; Co might just face the music Having scored a total of just 87 runs so far from five matches in the second season of the Indian Premier League, Delhi Daredevils' skipper Virender Sehwag will be sweating for a big one. And what better side to show his worth against than the Chennai Super Kings, led by India's Test and ODI skipper, Mahendra Singh Dhoni. After Delhi's opening match, where he scored an unbeaten 38 as the Daredevils kept all wickets intact to comfortably beat Kings XI Punjab, Sehwag has had a rather unimpressive string of scoresu00a06, 7, 16 and 20 respectively. His batting notwithstanding, the India opener however, has shouldered the responsibility of leading the team very well, given the Daredevils have won four out of their five matches this far. However, the fact that he has not rolled his arm over even once here, will have him only more keen to deliver with the willow. Sehwag's partner upfront, Gautam Gambhir too hasn't done too well with the bat. Gambhir scored 0, 16, 8 and 17 in his last four outings, besides the 15 not out in the first match. On the other hand, Dhoni &amp; Co cannot afford the slam bang Sehwag and his partner to get going. The Super Kings have won only two out of their six matches so far, with one match against the Kolkata Knight Riders having been abandoned due to rain. Super Kings, last year's finalists aren't particularly in a happy position at the bottom half of the table (placed fifth). Also, having lost to the Daredevils in their first outing (by nine runs) will be another factor that could hurt CSK mentally going into today's encounter. And a Sehwag blitzkrieg will only further hamper the Super Kings' chances of making it to the semi-finals.
