PANT MAKES HIS COMEBACK! DC DEFEATS CSK BY 20 RUNS - IPL 2024
Wow! What a match!! The crowd clamoured for Dhoni to come and hit. He obliged.
Prithvi Shaw and David Warner had
one of the best openings for DC in IPL 2024. Both played strongly and swiftly. They
kept the scoreboard ticking hitting almost all bowlers all across the ground.
Delhi will hope that Prithvi Shaw will continue this form throughout the tournament.
They both got out as they completed
their half-centuries. From the 11th over till the 15th
over, CSK bowlers were able to halt the run-fest. In the last 5 overs, Rishabh
Pant accelerated the run rate and helped DC reach an impressive 191 runs off
the 20 overs.
Among the bowlers, Pathirana and
Deshpande were impressive as they halted the run flow. Pathirana picked up 3
important wickets in the match. The runs
were more but not something which was difficult for CSK batting lineup.
The DC bowlers were exemplary
today as they picked up early wickets of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rachin Ravindra
wobbling the top order of CSK. It seemed that CSK never recovered from these
losses. Rahane and Mitchell tried to resurrect the innings in the middle overs
but they were kept on a tight leash by the DC bowlers. The DC bowlers were
brilliant, especially Khaleel Ahmed. This was always going to be a high-scoring
pitch, it was paramount that bowlers took early wickets as seen by Khaleel
Ahmed. A silver lining for CSK will be the cameo from Dhoni in the last 3 overs
where he scored 37 runs off 16 balls with 4 fours and 3 sixes. But it was too
late for Dhoni’s heroics to save the day.
DC defeated CSK comfortably by
20 runs. This is Rishabh Pant’s first win as a captain after he is back from
his rehabilitation. This is DC’s first win in this tournament. This win will
bolster their confidence and propel them to better performances.
Another Win for the home team :)
Khaleel Ahmed was adjudged the Player of the Match for his brilliant bowling.
