Virender Sehwag commited yet another momentous gaffe when he brought on himself to bowl the fifth over of the innings in the rain-hit game and conceded 23 - at a time when Punjab were still behind and would have in all probability remained so if not for that over.
As if that was not enough he did not utilize McGrath's full quota of 3 - which meant Punjab went on to win by 6 runs.
These kind of games are always a bit of a lottery but Sehwag should have known that he is used to giving away 20+ runs an over in this competition. As it turns out, it was a last ball 6 that sealed the deal for the King's X1.
Daredevils can justifiably feel hard done by in this game, but truth is that overall, they have failed to lift their game to the next level. Punjab now look poised to qualify for the semis.

Viru should cop a lot of blame if the Daredevils don't reach the semis. He clearly hasn't realized that T20s doesn't give much for the part-timers (unlike in the ODIs), but till he realizes it..........
