Nikkhil Chopra on special ability of Lalit Yadav

Wow!! What a game! Two Indian players – Lalit Yadav and Axar Patel – have managed to stun the five-time champions Mumbai Indians. Delhi Capitals looked down and out at 104/6 in the 178-run chase. But this duo played some brilliant shots to keep the team in the hunt and launched the assault in the last few overs to take the Capitals home with as many as 10 balls in hand.

Earlier, after opting to bowl first, the Capitals couldn’t struck early in the innings. MI openers Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma got the team off to an excellent start. Though the track had grass on it, the ball didn’t swing for long and the latter took toll on the opposition bowlers smashing fours and sixes at will.

At the other end, Kishan just made sure to play second fiddle to his skipper. The duo added 67 runs in just 8.2 overs before Kuldeep Yadav announced his comeback with a big wicket of Rohit. Anmolpreet Singh couldn’t do much at three as the chinaman got the better of him in his next over. However, young Tilak Varma turned heads with some exciting stroke-making in his debut IPL game.

But he and Kieron Pollard got out in a span of nine balls and at 122/4 in the 16th over, MI found themselves in trouble. Kuldeep Yadav also finished a superb spell of bowling returning with the figures of 3/18. His wicket of Pollard was a huge one in the context of the game with Tim Seifert plucking a brilliant catch.

This is when Ishan Kishan stepped on the accelerator taking the control of the innings into his hands. He smartly paced his innings and took on the DC bowlers who were not up to the mark with their lines. Shardul Thakur was at the receiving end especially going for a lot of runs in his final two overs. He was taken apart for 29 runs in his last two overs taking his overall tally to 0/47 on the day.

Kishan, on the other hand, proved his mettle yet again remaining unbeaten on 81 runs off 48 balls with 11 fours and two sixes. MI ended their innings on 177
