opening game
Dashing batsman Virender Sehwag
has a back spasm and it is doubtful he will be Delhi Daredevils'
tournament opener against title holders Kolkata Knight Riders on
Wednesday, coach Eric Simons said.
Sehwag, a batting mainstay of the Delhi side, is yet to arrive in the city.
"He is suffering from back spasm and is yet to arrive in Kolkata. The team is not sure if he will play tomorrow," Simons told a match-eve media meet after a practice session at the Eden Gardens here.
He said Sehwag was likely to arrive later Tuesday. "But we are not sure when he will come. When he comes we will take a call," Simons added.

He is having back spasm. 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 team will also miss out on last season's Purple cap holder Albie
Morkel, who bowled Titans to a semis place in the Ram Slam T20 Challenge
in the South Africa domestic cricket.
"They are playing semis tomorrow and if they make the final (on April 7)
we may miss him for another game," Simons added.
The Daredevils are already missing English batsman Kevin Pietersen who
had been ruled out for the entire season owing to a knee injury.
