Delhi Daredevils captain Kevin Pietersen will miss the side’s opening game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore on Thursday. Pietersen is believed to have injured his finger during a practice drill and will be forced to watch the game from the sidelines. “He did not play in the practice match and he won’t be considered for tomorrow’s game. Dinesh Karthik will captain the side,” Delhi Daredevils’ assistant coach, Eric Simmons, confirmed. (Useful Link:  Delhi Daredevils (DD) Squad IPL 7 - 2014 ) “It is a setback for us because he is an important player in our setup.

However, Kallis and Manish Pandey seized the momentum from MI thereafter. The duo put together 131 runs for the second wicket during a 15-plus-over stretch.
