It will be a clash of titans at the Feroz Shah Kotla when Sachin Tendulkar's Mumbai Indians take on Delhi Daredevils led by Virender Sehwag on Sunday.
There are enough ingredients for a mouthwatering contest as two of the biggest names in Indian cricket will be out to prove their supremacy.
Mumbai Indians, who were the finalists last year, are easily the favourites on paper with Tendulkar, Kieron Pollard, Andrew Symonds ready to take any attack to the cleaners with their murderous approach.
For Delhi Daredevils, which lost as many as seven (Gautam Gambhir, AB de Villiers, Ashish Nehra, Pradeep Sangwan, Daniel Vettori, Mithun Manhas, Rajat Bhatia) of their key players, it will be a real challenge to do well with a set-up that neither consists of any big international names nor an Indian player of repute save the skipper and South African speedster Morne Morkel.
The team consists of mainly India discards and fringe players who are trying to claw their way back into the national team.
Therefore, Sehwag certainly won't have the cushion that Tendulkar will have in his team.
