Delhi Daredevils captain Virender Sehwag was happy with his side's performance but admitted he has to address his own form.

AB de Villiers made a dashing 79 in his side's 150 for three, with Johan Botha's 37 the best Royals could muster in response as they closed on 136 for nine.

Delhi are on course to finish top of the standings after the group games, but Sehwag, perceived by many as his side's key performer at the start of the tournament, has struggled to make an impression at the top of the order.

But the India star is hoping to play himself into form before the knockout phase begins.

He said: "I'm pretty happy with the performance. The batting didn't click, but still, AB and Tillakaratne Dilshan an carried on from their recent good form.

Delhi beat Rajasthan

"I knew 150 is a good total here because we almost won against Punjab after scoring just 120.

"I still haven't got any runs, so I can use the next two games. It is important for my team to do that."

Rajasthan captain Shane Warne, who went wicketless for the cost of 28 in his four overs said: "They probably got 15 too many. We dropped our catches, but that's the way it goes. Had we got a good start, it still could have been a par score."

The Australian leg-spinner also had a word of solace for opening bowler Munaf Patel, who took two early wickets before being milked for 25 in his last over to push Daredevils over the top.

"Munaf has been pretty special, he was sensational in his last over against Mumbai, and this kind of thing can happen to anyone in Twenty20."
