Losing streak is cause of concern for us: DD spinner Nadeem

As Delhi Daredevils slipped to their fourth successive defeat in the ongoing Pepsi Indian Premier League, left-arm spinner Shahbaz Nadeem admitted that the team's losing streak is a "cause of concern".
"We lost four games and it is a case of concern. But T20 is a funny game, three out of the four games we fought hard and easily could have won them. We need to return to winning ways if we have to qualify for the knockout stage," Nadeem, who took two for 17, told reporters at the post-match press conference here last night.
The Daredevils lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad by three wickets in a low-scoring affair.

Nadeem feels that the Delhi outfit need to get their act together quickly and come out with improved show in their remaining 12 matches.
"We have a good batting side but unfortunately we are not performing with the bat. But we have got the potential. We need to pull up our socks. I hope in the next couple of games you will see us doing well," he insisted.
Even the return of Virender Sehwag, who missed the first three games due to a bout of back spasms, failed to inspire the Daredevils. Opting to bat, they could only post just 114 for eight, a score that the Sunrisers struggled to chase down but did it in the end with four balls to spare.

"Viru bhai (Sehwag) is a world class player. He was looking very positive today and we are just waiting for him to explode in the tournament," Nadeem said.
