Delhi Capitals lost early wickets while chasing a seemingly good total set up by Mumbai Indians. Ishak Kishan’s 81 off 48 deliveries and Rohit Sharma’s 41 off 32 kept the momentum for the side but it took little effort for Lalit Yadav and Axar Patel to pull off the win from the jaws of Mumbai Indians. Shardul Thakur’s cameo of 22 runs alongside Lalit Yadav and Axar Patel’s crucial contribution helped DC win in a seemingly impossible chase. While batting second, Delhi lost early wickets in the form of Tim Siefert, Mandeep Singh, Rishabh Pant, and Rovman Powell. After the win, Twitter exploded with a flood of reactions on Axar Patel and Lalit Yadav’s heroic.
MI fans: We'll definitely win our first game.
