The backbone of the Delhi Capitals’ fast bowling attack, Kagiso Rabada has lauded the young Indian pacer, Tushar Deshpande for his heroic bowling performance against Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Wednesday. Deshpande and the other Delhi bowlers put on a show in Dubai on Wednesday night as they managed to clinch a victory defending a below-par score.

Tushar Deshpande picked two crucial wickets for Delhi Capitals on the night. His first wicket was none other than the dangerous-looking man, Ben Stokes. Just when Stokes was nearing his half-century Deshpande got him caught by Lalit Yadav, the substitute fielder. Later on, he clinched Shreyas Gopal to claim his second wicket on his IPL debut.
