Presentation
Sehwag: We have strengthened our batting, that is why we picked the likes of Taylor, KP and Mahela to allow us to go with the Indian bowlers. Nadeem is a good prospect, we picked him last year and he is reaping benefits this year. Crowds have been good and I thank the fans for all the support to be there for a four o'clock match.
Sangakkara: Back to the drawing board yes, we need to hold on to our catches, we were also 20 runs short, but KP batted brilliantly. We need to play more smartly, from 100/2 in 12 overs we needed to get going.
Man of the match, Pietersen: This is absolutely amazing, crowds cheering for the teams here. I would love to have more English cricketers playing here, but I am enjoying playing in India. Steyn is a class bowler and it was good playing him, the crowds have been amazing. Yes, this is my best innings in this format, hope to get some more.
Delhi have romped away to their fourth win from five games and along with Rajasthan Royals, are at the top of the table. Deccan Chargers have lost their fourth in a row and could have some hard questions coming their way.
Pietersen's century was the obvious difference between the two sides, but one must say that he was dropped on a couple of occasions. Poor fielding was one of the big reasons behind Deccan's debacle this season.
Speaking of KP, he has been in the form of his life, coming from a century and a 40 in the second Test against Sri Lanka, another 40 in the first innings he batted in the IPL and now has followed it up with this match-winning century. Delhi's net run-rate takes them to the top of the points table.
