Played a maiden over after 10 years: Sehwag

Even Sehwag admitted that it was for the first time in 10 years that he played a maiden over.

"Yes, I think after 10 years I played a maiden today. It was a plan. We lost two
wickets so I thought let me play Malinga because others may not be able to pick him.

We have 10 debutants in Delhi squad and it will take a little time for us to come together," Sehwag said.

The Daredevils, playing their first match in this edition in their home ground Feroze Shah Kotla, crashed to an eight wicket defeat with fast bowler Malinga picking his best IPL figures of 5-13.

Sehwag said they were 30-40 runs short but hoped that his inexperienced side will come out good in the coming matches.   

"A 140-150 is a good total here, but everything went Mumbai's way." Sehwag, however, drew positives from their formidable bowling and sharp fielding.

"We have a good bowling unit and fielding. I am the only one who have played in the last three IPL. I am sure we will come good in the coming matches," he said.
