The ball was scything past the batsmen, the in swingers were hurting their unprotected body parts, the Naraine spin was just baffling their minds into believing that they were in India, rather than in a hard core South African cricket ground.
The Delhi Daredevils' bowling was a delight to watch as they sliced through the defenses of KKR and made them look petty. Pathan's in swingers were dot on while Balaji was bowling way outside the stumps and hardly causing any concern to the Delhi batsmen. His full tosses lower down the innings gave 61 runs in the last few overs for the Delhi Daredevils, ensuring a comfortable and determined target of 161 for them to defend.
The bowling by DD was spot on as the balls swung, spun and danced in front of the batsmen's eyes. All they were able to do was stare at the variations in the deliveries with surprise and amazement. The delhi Daredevils had it very easy as they reduced KKR to a mere 108.
Pathan was given the MoM for his brilliant bowling. Unmukt Chand stepped up and showed that he is a force to reckon with. I know that these are early days, but I get the feeling that there is a Kohli in him, which, if unleashed, will prove to be costly for any team playing against him.

Very Nice :D . And about Virat - Unmukt thing , I would say even Virat is in his very early stage and there is a long way to go , so leave alone Unmukt . Now what actually matters is that the selectors must make space for this kind of a Young talents by nurturing them in the proper way .

ReplyDeleteI'm not first this time. :( Sorry, was sleeping. X( Dozed off like a log for 12 whole hours, lol. :D
Anyways, well written as usual. I hated the match. As an ardent fan of KKR since the very first season...which makes it FIVE years now, this match really disappointed me.
Two other Indian teams playing today, that too different matches, so it must be a real delight for you. :D I hope Sydney 6ers and the other Lions team win. :P
Keep writing and being your usual awesome self (and respond to whatsapp),
Always and forever,
Nidheya.
