While KL Rahul’s dismal performance caused worries for the Delhi Capitals, their emerging batter, Sameer Rizvi, continues to be in a fiery form. The 22-year-old batter played two match-winning knocks in two consecutive games. Today, the young gun missed a century by only 10 runs.
At one point of the run chase, Delhi was down by two wickets when the team was on 7 runs, as Nitish Rana was also dismissed for a duck soon after the fall of KL Rahul.
Mumbai Indians lacked flair without Hardik Pandya.
Hardik Pandya, the regular captain of the team, missed the match as he looked unwell to perform. In the absence of Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav took charge to lead the team. Without Pandya in the line-up, the team might have missed extra firepower both in their batting and bowling.
DC pacer Mukesh Kumar was the best bowler of the match, taking a couple of wickets in 3 overs for 26 runs. DC skipper Axar Patel was also effective in the match. With his spin bowling, he caught one wicket for a 5.5 economy rate in 4 overs.
Axar Patel reflects on their team selection process
"It's a tactical move, it's great if it comes off. Ashutosh is playing well, but you pick a player depending on the day's requirements. If I have to choose, it's a good problem, which shows how good our bench strengths are. We have to take it one game at a time and keep the momentum, especially after breaks between games", he added.
