Delhi Capitals (DC) Highlights
Unlike RR’s performance, Delhi Capitals needed to catch up to the schedule of taking the win in this match—a bad start for them. Prithvi Shaw and Manish Panday returned to the dressing room without scoring any runs. However, David Warner stuck himself to the crease and kept scoring.
But he needed help from his other team members, which he did not get except for Lalit Yadav’s little cameo. Rilee Russouw keeps disappointing DC’s management, which is unlikely for him. He has performed outstandingly in the recent T20 international and domestic matches. Even he has played impressively in recent leagues like Pakistan Super League 2023.
On the other hand, an awe-inspiring show of ball in hand by Trent Boult, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Ravichandran Ashwin for destroying almost the whole DC’s batting lineup. Sandeep Sharma was also very effective today with an economy of 5.00. However, Jason Holder was expensive because of Warner’s and Yadav’s little cameo.
