IPL: Capitals show Never-say-Die spirit, beat MI

It was one of the most awaited matches of the IPL 2022.

Delhi Capitals faced the most successful franchise, Mumbai Indians led by India skipper Rohit Sharma.

After going through a below-par season last year, Mumbai Indians were highly determined to turn the table around.

Meanwhile, the Capitals were fighting to lift their first IPL trophy under the captaincy of India’s rising talent, Rishabh Pant.

Kuldeep back in form

The whole of India has been waiting for Kuldeep Yadav to regain his magic and today, he did exactly that.

Coming into the attack after the powerplay, he broke the dangerous opening partnership by dismissing Rohit Sharma at deep mid-wicket on 41.

In his very next over, the Chinaman bowler got rid of Anmolpreet Singh, caught at long-off.

Kuldeep looked in great rhythm and exhibited tremendous confidence as he effectively dried up the runs.

In the 16th over, the 27-year-old struck again, dismissing Kieron Pollard who pulled a short ball straight into the lap of the mid-wicket fielder.

Delhi kept losing wickets

Delhi Capitals came out with positive intent as Tim Seifert took the Mumbai Indians bowling apart.

However, he was sent back by spinner Murugan Ashwin’s vicious in-cutter that disturbed the stumps.

Ashwin took two wickets in one over to put the brakes on Delhi Capitals.
