A lot. He was undoubtedly the finest batsman the world saw in the previous decade. Yes, he is out of form now but that doesn't overshadow his great work.

And btw, Statsguru is your friend. See it yourself.

You know what they say... form is temporary, class is permanent. ;)

Yup,Viru Pa was a fine batsman.Nobody is going to say NO.But the thing is every player has a bad and a good patch.Dhoni,when he came into the side in mid 2000s he was brutal and looked fine.He had a elongated bad patch but now he is amazing for the past 12 months.
Viru has also had his ups and downs.His test average has dropped below 50 in the recent past.He had his time too.No one can score 100s in every game.Even the great WALL had his failures.Dhoni has finished so many crucial matches for India and CSK too.He has the extra talent of captaincy too.Just because you dont like him,you cant say he is useless.

Sehwag likely to miss opener - The Hindu

So Sehwag will miss the first game due to some back injury. No KP, no Jesse Ryder, no Morne Morkel for the first two games and no Sehwag for the first match. It's gonna be a tough opening game for us against KKR tomorrow. Hoping that Sehwag plays the second match and Morkel comes to India ASAP.

Varun Aaron is injured too.DD has signed Ben Rohrer instead.

Right from season 1 DD looked the strongest in the paper and they look like winning every time.This time around DD looks a bit shaky.Maybe thats why they might just win this IPL?

Yes, Varun Aaron is injured and won't be playing the entire season. And I read about that Ben Rohrer signing but forgot to post about it here. :)

So this has been the summary so far:
Kevin Pietersen out for the whole tournament
Jesse Ryder out for the whole tournament
Varun Aaron out for the whole tournamet
Morne Morkel to miss the first game and maybe the second one too as he his playing domestic cricket in South Africa
Ben Rohrer replaces Kevin Pietersen
Virender Sehwag's back injury rules him out of the first game

Well a lot of things happening this time and the tournament hasn't even started yet.

Stats look gun, would love to see him out there tomorrow.
Certainly. Amazing FC average of about 75 and in T20s averages 43 with a SR of more than 150. Can bat according to the situation. Looking forward to this youngster.

Check his recent matches the averages are up because of some not-outs or else he is a hit and miss player.
