In a bid to motivate the players, the DelhiDaredevils management has decided to create a 'Wall of Fame' aimed at inspiringVirender Sehwag and Co during the gruelling 55-day Indian Premier League.
In the team hotel, there is a designated 'Team Room', whichhas huge posters carrying some famous lines quoted by American basketballlegend Michael Jordan and Muhammad Ali to inspire the players before the homegames.
For example, in one of the walls, there is Jordan's quote,"Talent win games, but teamwork, intelligence, wins championship."
Hemant Dua, the marketing head of Delhi Daredevils, told PTI,"This is our way of trying to motivate the players before a big game. Theywould assemble in this room before a match and from there would leave for theground."
The two stand-out quotes that have been used are that of Aliand another former NBA defender Bobby Jones.
"I hated every minute of training But I said 'Don't Quit'.Suffer now and live the rest of your life as champion," the famous Aliquote screams from one of the walls.
However, one quotable quote that is difficult to get out ofthe head, is the one from Jones.
"Competitive Sports are played mainly on a five-and-halfinch court. The space between your ears."
A Daredevils official informed that they alsowould have motivational videos shown to the players, which can suitably chargethem up before a big game.
