4,4,6,4,4,1- Abishek Porel Dismantles Tushar Deshpande In 1 Over (Watch Video)

Abishek Porel, on Wednesday (April 16), hit Tushar Deshpande for five boundaries in an over during the game between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

RR captain Sanju Samson won the toss and elected to bowl first. However, RR were off to a poor start with the ball as Jake Fraser-McGurk and Abishek Porel gave DC a flying start. Fraser-McGurk began the proceedings by hitting Jofra Archer for two fours in the first over.

Deshpande conceded 5 boundaries

Deshpande began with a full toss, and Abishek Porel had no trouble in dispatching the ball for a four. On the second ball, the right-arm pacer managed to get an outside edge, but the ball once again ran away for a four.

Deshpande's third delivery was on the pads, and Porel flicked it over the deep backward square leg fielder for the first six of the match.

The fourth ball was a slower delivery, and Porel hit that one for a four as well. On the fifth delivery of the over, Porel played a full shot to collect another four. Deshpande was looking destined to concede six boundaries in his very first over, but Porel could collect only a single on the final delivery of the over.

Watch as Abishek Porel takes Tushar Deshpande to the cleaners:

Meanwhile, RR picked up two wickets in the powerplay after starting the game on a poor note. In the third over, Jofra Archer dismissed Jake Fraser-McGurk before Karun Nair was run out for a duck in the fourth over.

At the time of writing this report, DC were on 48/2 in the seventh over with Porel batting on 31 and KL Rahul unbeaten on 8. DC will be hoping that Porel and Rahul stitch together a big stand and guide them towards a big total.
