Lalit Yadav is imitating Axar as he hits a straight six and a four. What an innings this is turning out to be for both the Delhi batters. They are attacking the Mumbai bowlers. DC: 168/6 after 17. 4 overs

19:12 (IST)27 Mar 2022Humongous six!

What a humongous hit by Axar. He is charged today, only dealing in boundaries. He bangs the slower delivery of Daniel Sams and deposits it in the stands. DC: 156/6 after 17.1 overs

19:07 (IST)27 Mar 2022Four!!!!

It`s a length ball by Basil Thampi but Axar executes it well and gets a boundary. Both the Delhi batters are battling it in a sleek manner against the tough Mumbai bowlers. DC: 146/6 after 16.5 overs

18:59 (IST)27 Mar 2022Another four for Lalit!

Firstly, Axar hits a six and now Lalit is taking on Bumrah. He just guides the ball in the gap and fetches a boundary. Delhi capitals are steadily firing against Mumbai Indians. DC: 134/6 after 15.4 overs

18:57 (IST)27 Mar 2022Quick-spin Murugan!

Murugan Ashwin managed to get three games last year with Punjab Kings. He picked up just a wicket and leaked nearly nine runs an over. But he didn’t sulk; rather he utilised the time mining tips from leg-spin know-it-all Anil Kumble, the coach. The veteran of 956 international scalps advised him to focus on googlies and accuracy. “He also wanted me to bowl closer to the stumps and concentrate on more over-spin,” he had said in a Punjab Kings video last year. Ashwin, for most part of his career, would strive for precocious side-spin both ways and used to give lavish flight. But the 2022 version is different—he doesn’t turn the ball as much, bowls flatter, the turn is subtler, but he purchases more bounce and is far more accurate than he ever had been. The wicket of Tim Seifert was classical peak-Kumble double-bluff. He set him up with a pair of leg-breaks, turning just a shade and bouncing quite generously from a spinner’s good length. He thus pushed him to the back-foot, made before he slipped in a brisker, fuller googly that burst through the gap between his bat and pad to crash onto the stumps.  In identical fashion, he outfoxed Prithvi Shaw, but for an inside edge that evaded the stumps. There were other close shaves too in his spell that read 4-0-14-2, and already the rival teams would have begun dissecting his googlies.

17:28 (IST)27 Mar 2022Seifert on the rebound:

Tim Seifert endured a frustrating debut season in the league last year. He spent most of the time warming the benches of Kolkata Knight Riders, got just a game, and when the India leg of the league was cancelled midway through the edition due to the pandemic, he could not board the evacuation flight back home to New Zealand as he returned positive a day before the flight, which was to fly two days before he tested negative. Followed days of fear and agony, as he was room-bound until he tested negative again. “The world kind of stops a little bit. I just couldn’t really think what was next. And that was the scary part of it. You hear about the bad things, and I thought that was going to happen to me,” he told stuff.co.nz. Worse, he was supposed to get married in two months too. “Sort of a nightmare, it was,” he said. This edition, though, had begun auspiciously for him—he got a game straightaway and made an instant impression by plucking a blinder to grab Kieron Pollard’s wicket at short square-leg. The ball screamed off Pollard’s bat, as when he middles it, and it flew so fast that it seemed to evade Seifert. But he arched back and snaffled the ball after it was past him, fully air-borne. A gravity-defying grab from the Gibbs-Rhodes manual.
