Oh, Mayank Agarwal! You gotta feel for the stylish KXIP opener. After doing almost everything during his brilliantly paced 89 to take his team from the brink of defeat to a brilliant victory, the right-hander faltered at the final hurdle, paving way for the game to end in a tie. And, then DC’s Kagiso Rabada’s brilliance in the super-over ensured that Agarwal would be left ruing his stroke on the penultimate delivery as Delhi snatched two points from KXIP in what was a hugely entertaining game of IPL 2020.
Chasing 158 to win, KXIP started cautiously against the pace of Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada. KL Rahul looked good during his 18-ball 21 before he was undone by a Mohit Sharma delivery; one that nipped back in to bamboozle his stumps.
Karun Nair, in an attempt to take on Ashwin, top-edged the offie on the very first ball he bowled to give a simple catch to Prithvi Shaw at short fine-leg. Ravi Ashwin then proceeded to beat Nicholas Pooran’s defense with the arm-ball to leave KXIP reeling at 3-34 in 5.5 overs.
But, unfortunately, tragedy struck on the very next ball as Ashwin, in an attempt to stop the ball, seemingly injured his shoulder, immediately leaving the field in excruciating pain. Things, however, kept getting worse for KXIP as Maxwell mistimed the lofted drive straight to Shreyas Iyer at long-off. KXIP- 4-35.
Sarfaraz Khan got a lucky reprieve when Kagiso Rabada induced an outside edge, only to see it go between Pant and the 1st slip. But Khan couldn’t make it count as he holed out to Axar Patel in the deep to leave KXIP reeling at 5-55.
With 74 required off the last 6 overs, KXIP needed one of their batters to emulate Marcus Stoinis knock. Krishnappa Gowtham smoked a six and a four off Mohit Sharma on the first two balls of the 15th over to give some sort of momentum to the innings. But Kagiso Rabada once again proved to be the partnership breaker as he dismissed Gowtham in the very next over to drive home the advantage in DC’s favor.
Mayank Agarwal then proceeded to flex his muscles. The right-hander smoked two brilliant boundaries off Anrich Nortje before smashing Mohit Sharma for back-to-back sixes to not only complete his half-century but also bring the equation down to a manageable 28 off 15 balls.
This was Mayank unleashed. Absolutely unleashed. And, it didn’t matter whether it was Rabada or any other bowler. The Karnataka batsman went downtown against the fast bowler to score another boundary. Rabada nearly had his revenge but for Shreyas Iyer, who dropped an easy catch in the deep after Mayank mistimed one straight in the deep. 12 runs came off the penultimate over, leaving KXIP another 12 to script a brilliant win.
Kagiso Rabada’s brilliance in the Super Over ensures Mayank Agarwal heroics went in vain?
Kagiso Rabada ensured why he one of the great death bowlers of the modern era. The South African fast bowler went bang bang, dismissing KL Rahul with a short-pitch delivery before shattering Nicholas Pooran’s stumps to end the KXIP innings at 2 runs, which Rishabh Pant achieved with a boundary off Mohammed Shami on the second delivery.
Mohammed Shami and Ravi Bishnoi lead the charge for KXIP before Marcus Stoinis whirlwind knock leads DC to 157.
The Delhi Capitals couldn’t have got off to a worse start than they did after KL Rahul decided to put them in to bat. Mohammed Shami looked like he hasn’t missed a beat despite such an extended break. The Indian pace-bowling spearhead bowled perfect Test match lengths, exploiting the seam to brilliant effect.
Shikhar Dhawan was involved in a horrible miscommunication and was run out on the very first ball that he faced off Shami. Dhawan was taken aback by the well-executed bouncer from Shami and he would have been caught, had KL Rahul held on to the catch.
DC needed their experienced duo of Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant to take their side from troubled waters. The duo did exactly that as they went about stitching a 50+ stand and what was so good to see was the manner in which they rotated the strike.
13.6 Ravi Bishnoi to Pant, out Bowled!! Maiden IPL wicket for Ravi Bishnoi. Nice comeback, young man. Long way to go! Bowls the wrong 'un, gets it to spin away outside off. Pant tries to do an encore, didn't sort of get into a good position and morever had @<!---->r<!---->a<!---->v<!---->i<!---->_<!---->b<!---->i<!---->s<!---->h<!---->n<!---->o<!---->i<!---->9 p<!---->i<!---->c<!---->.<!---->t<!---->w<!---->i<!---->t<!---->t<!---->e<!---->r<!---->.<!---->c<!---->o<!---->m<!---->/<!---->f<!---->6<!---->9<!---->E<!---->d<!---->D<!---->v<!---->b<!---->n<!---->J

Pan struggled against Ravi Bishnoi but Shreyas Iyer had no such problems against Krishanappa Gowtham. The DC skipper one again displayed why he is a murderer of spin bowling as he went bang bang against Gowtham, hitting him for sixes straight down the ground on a regular basis.
That moment when you pick up your maiden IPL wicket.

Ravi Bishnoi bowled really well in his debut game. The rookie leggie mixed up his variations brilliantly, tying Pant down by not giving him anything in his arc, before eventually scripting his downfall as the southpaw went for a wild hoick against the googly that he couldn’t pick, only to see his stumps shattered.
KL Rahul brought back Mohammed Shami immediately after Pant’s wicket and it proves to be a masterstroke as Shreyas Iyer mistimed a lofted drive to give Shami his 3rd scalp. Bishnoi, on the other hand, continued to impress as the DC batsman struggled to pick his variations. The debutant leggie eventually finished with figures of 1-22.
Sheldon Cottrell returned to immediately strangle Axar Patel down the leg-side to leave the Capitals reeling at 6-95.
Marcus Stoinis [53 off 21 balls] stroked some lusty blows off Sheldon Cottrell and Chris Jordan in the last three overs, including three fours and two sixes in the last over by Jordan to ensure that DC scored 57 runs off the last 18 balls to finish at a respectable 8-157 in 20 overs.

Very impressed with Ravi Bishnoi. With Yashasvi Jaiswal, caught the eye at the U19 World Cup. And to think he was twice rejected at the local U19 level and was only noticed in 2018 bowling in the nets for Rajasthan Royals. Also think he is bowling a little slower.

Sure you guys would have noticed, because there is going to be a lot of traffic on these pitches over the next few weeks curators have left a bit of grass so that pitches don’t age very quickly. Therefore this IPL will be of two halves. Currently watching seam dominated half. ?

From the point of view of Indian cricket this is a very good test for Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant. Both normally free stroking players, but today have to be more measured and be in when the 15th over begins

Ravi Bishnoi young leggie breaks the partnership by getting big wicket of Pant.
KL brings in Shami to bowl his last over and he takes off opposition captain Iyer

Shreyas has rushed it, just had lost Pant could have played this over out.

This is not really collapse as much as it has been some great test match lengths from Shami to exploit the seam.
All talks of playing Rahane are irrelevant as some deliveries could have taken out even Pujara. #<!---->D<!---->C<!---->v<!---->K<!---->X<!---->I<!---->P #<!---->K<!---->X<!---->I<!---->P<!---->v<!---->D<!---->C #<!---->I<!---->P<!---->L<!---->2<!---->0<!---->2<!---->0
