The Delhi Giants spearheaded by Maravan Atapattu from Sri Lanka convincingly
defeated the Kolkata tigers in the 3rd place playoff. They are bitter after the
nail biting defeat by the Chandigarh Lions in the 1st semi final of the ICL
20-20 Indian Championship 2007-08. Though Delhi Giants got a shaky start, they
won over the remaining teams to give challenge to the finalist. Though it was
quite clear that Maravan Atapattu would be the captain of the team, he joined
the camp only in the final hours.
That might have been the reason for the shaky start but in future Delhi
Giants will prove to be a force to reckon with. Apart from the captain other
notable players of this team are Dale Benkenstein (SA), Taufeeq Umar (Pak), Neil
O’Brien (Ire) and Paul Nixon. Noted cricket player and former team India coach
Mr. Madan Lal coached Delhi Giants team. It also included other Indian players
such as JP Yadav and Ali Murtaza.
