Track Lost. Worst start ever in IPL for us.

Daniel Christian is congratulated on dismissing Naman Ojha Deccan Chargers -168/4 (20 overs)
Delhi daredevils  -152/7  (20 overs)
Shikhar Dhawan loses his middle stump to Irfan PathanIt all stated on a good note for Delhi Daredevils when Irfan Pathan scalped Dhawan's wicket in his first over. But  what happened next was much of a bad luck for us. The 94 runs stand between Sohal and Sangakkara screwed the confidence of  DD's bowlers. The remaining 12 overs were almost the formality for the bowlers and batsmen as they came and went and put up a decent total of 169 runs.
Did the score 168 mattered much to us (Considers DD's awesome chase in last match where they chased 187)?
Harmeet Singh celebrates after having Aaron Finch caught behindWell, It seemed not much of a trouble till 4th over. Sehwag departed in that over, Ojha in other over and when it was getting onto the nerves of DD fans , Harmeet Singh blasted them by sending Finch back to Devil's Pavilion ("for God's sake that is not why we named this site the same!").
Warner remained there standing at non-striker's end looking at the DD's batting line-up fumbling  and crushing itself. I here don't want to say that the Deccan's were bowling well (and why should I?). Warner however was able to hold us for sometime after the others have played the cameo in the match. There was Warner and Rao and we still were hoping but the devilish fate of Devil's from starting overs returned and Deccans were again on fire and did we try to stop the wickets from falling? Hell yeah, we stopped ourselves from getting all-out and lost the match in the process.
Yogesh Nagar was bowled by Daniel Christian for 23
Deccans completely derailed us and it was evident from the way Delhi Daredevils played.
Still there are more matches to be played but what it looks like is the worst start for Delhi daredevils in IPL ever.
PS: I hope we win our next matches because I don't like to put images where DD's bails are in air :(.
