New Delhi, May 16: A huge monkey off their back after the win against Deccan Chargers, the born-again Delhi Daredevils would be gunning for revenge when they collide head-on with the high-flying Kings XI Punjab in a potential Indian Premier League humdinger in New Delhi on Saturday.

The fortnight-long nightmare, featuring four defeats on the trot, finally ended in Kotla on Thurday night and Virender Sehwag and his fellow Daredevils managed to snap the losing streak to keep alive their semifinal hopes.

The passage, however, is no more as smooth as it was at the start of May.

Being pushed to the brink often simplifies things and the revenge-driven hosts would be looking forward to settle scores when they host Yuvraj Singh's Kings XI at Ferozeshah Kotla.

When the two sides met first time on April 27, it was Yuvraj who was smiling at the end with his side carving out a four-wicket win with three balls to spare.

Sehwag, however, made it clear that he is desperate to have the last laugh on Saturday.

"At this stage, all the matches are challenging for us. They have been on a roll but however good you may be, someone will come and beat you hands down. Maybe we'll do it tomorrow," said the Daredevils’ skipper.

The hosts have won half of the 10 matches they have played so far, which places them fifth with 10 points, while the Kings XI sit pretty on the second spot with 12 points, garnered from their six wins in nine matches.

Sehwag, however, insisted that every team is in for a lean patch. "Consistency has been a problem with everyone. Every team has had a rough patch and it can happen with them as well," he said.
