Delhi Daredevils sign Ben Rohrer Daniel Brettig April 2, 2013 Delhi Daredevils have signed the New South Wales captain and left-hand batsman Ben Rohrer for this IPL season. The Daredevils' spokesperson confirmed Rohrer's inclusion, saying he was a replacement for Indian seamer Varun Aaron, who isn't available due to a stress fracture he suffered last year. Rohrer, though, could also compensate for the absence of Jesse Ryder this season. Ryder was at the receiving end of a vicious attack in Christchurch last week. A capable and versatile middle-order batsman as well as a calm operator, the 32-year-old Rohrer was a stand-out performer for the Melbourne Renegades in the 2012-13 BBL in Australia, compiling 295 runs at an average of 49.16 as his side led the preliminary standings before falling in the semi-finals. As impressive as Rohrer's runs was the manner in which he made them, combining busy running with strong hitting like Michael Hussey. Those displays earned Rohrer a Twenty20 international debut against the West Indies at the Gabba, where he did not look out of place while hustling to 16. Rohrer's first-class career for NSW has been sturdy, returning him 1901 runs at 39.60 in 34 matches, including a century on debut for the Blues against Tasmania in 2006. He has been in and out of the side due to the state's raft of international players for several summers since, but his reliability as a batsman and a character was recognised by his appointment to the state captaincy this summer after Steve O'Keefe resigned his commission. Rohrer will join his fellow New South Welshman David Warner in Delhi. With inputs from Nagraj Gollapudi

Sehwag doubtful for IPL opener

Injury hit Delhi might suffer another major blow as the aggressive opener Virender Sehwag may not be available to play in the tournament opener against Kolkata. Sehwag is suffering from back spasms and is yet to join the Daredevils squad in Kolkata. "He is having back spasms. We have no idea when he's joining the side. We will take a call after he's here," coach Eric Simons said hinting that the team is prepared to play without the swashbuckling opener. The Delhi franchise has already suffered its share of injury blows - Kevin Pietersen is out of the tournament due to a knee injury while Jesse Ryder is missing due to a brutal assault in a Christchurch bar. To make matters worse, the leader of the pace attack Morne Morkel will miss the first game as he is back in South Africa, playing a domestic T20 tournament. "They are playing semis tomorrow and if they make final (on April 7) we may miss Morne for another game," Simons added. Delhi take on defending champions Kolkata at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on April 3rd.

Sweet revenge. They suffered exactly what RR suffered against them last time. Anyways, they perhaps need Sehwag back and need to boost their middle order and improve their bowling combinations selection. Nehra and Russell are not good enough at least in current form.
