Delhi Daredevils' explosive openerDavid warner hopes that his team can get its act together in the next gameagainst Rajasthan Royals Saturday for its first win in the Pepsi Indian PremierLeague (IPL) this season.
The Daredevils were easily defeated by defending champions Kolkata KnightRiders in the opening game of the sixth edition Wednesday.
"Things went horribly wrong for us in the last match. Our batsmen playedsome silly shots. Hopefully we can improve on this and bat, field and bowl wellin the next match," said Warner on the eve of the match against the Royalshere at the Ferozeshah Kotla.
The big hitting Warner struggled against spinners during the recently concludedTest series against India and against the Knight Riders as well Warner lookedshort of ideas against the guile of West Indies spinner Sunil Narine, whoultimately took his wicket.
Asked if he is still vulnerable to spin, Warner said: "I don't think so.During the Test series most of the wickets fell to spin because spinners werebowling most of the time."
When queried if he had learnt something from another big-hitter Chris Gayle,how to build an innings on slow Indian tracks, Warner said: "I think he isa freak of nature. Every player cannot be as strong as him or tall like him. Healways starts slow. We all have our strengths and weaknesses and play accordingto it."
The Australian opener said in the absence of stars like Virender Sehwag, KevinPietersen and Jesse Ryder, other players were aware of their responsibilities.
"There are a lot of responsibilities on every player. We have some of thebest players. Hopefully one of our top-four can get a big score," saidWarner.
Warner said it was very important for one among the top-four in the Daredevilsline-up to bat till the 20th over.
"It is all about batting for five overs and then carrying it on till theend. One of our top-four must bat till the end. It will be very crucial for theteam," he said.
