| 1.6 : 1.6: Jaydev Unadkat to Prithvi Shaw, OUT! CAUGHT AT POINT! Not today for Prithvi Shaw as Jaydev Unadkat gets him. Brilliant slower delivery from Unadkat and this is turning out to be a brilliant start from Rajasthan. Slower ball around off, Shaw fails to pick it and looks to heave it to the leg side but gets a leading edge which goes towards Miller at point who takes it comfortably. |
| 2.1 : 2.1: Chetan Sakariya to Shikhar Dhawan, FOUR! Well played by Dhawan! Good length ball outside off, Dhawan drives it through extra cover for a boundary. |
| 2.6 : 2.6: Chetan Sakariya to Ajinkya Rahane, FOUR! Good shot to end the over! Short ball on middle and eg, Rahane swivels and pulls it to the backward square leg region for a boundary. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: Jaydev Unadkat to Shikhar Dhawan, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Is that a bird? Is that Superman? No, it is the Rajasthan skipper, Sanju Samson. What a catch from the skipper to send the man-in-form back to the pavilion. Just terrific. Rajasthan are off to a brilliant start in this game. Good length ball around middle, Dhawan shuffles across and looks to paddle but it takes the edge, hits the gloves and goes to the right of Samson. He dives to that side and plucks it out of thin air with his right ha |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Jaydev Unadkat to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Pant is off the mark in style! Good length ball outside off, Pant punches it through the point region for a boundary. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Chris Morris to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Smashed down the ground! Pant will not hold back! Fuller ball outside off, Pant smacks it wide of the mid off fielder for a boundary. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: Jaydev Unadkat to Rishabh Pant, EDGED AND FOUR! Unlucky for Unadkat! Another very good delivery from Unadkat. He offers an immaculate seam position and bowls it on a length on off. It is Test match bowling. Pant looks to play it towards mid on and closes the face of the bat a little early. It takes the outside edge and goes behind point and to the third man fence. |
| 5.5 : 5.5: Jaydev Unadkat to Ajinkya Rahane, OUT! CAUGHT! Wonderful bowling from Unadkat and he gets the better of his former skipper. Rahane is out of here and he has been completely outfoxed by the wits and delusion of Unadkat. A deceptive slower delivery. Unadkat takes pace off the ball but disguises it so well that it gets the better of the experienced Rahane as well. Rahane comes down the track to take on the attack to Unadkat. He misreads the slower one and ends up chipping it back to Unadkat. J |
| 6.5: Mustafizur Rahman to Marcus Stoinis, OUT! CAUGHT! Stoinis joins the trio of Shaw, Dhawan and Rahane back in the hut. The Hulk departs without even troubling the scorers and Delhi are in a massive puddle here. Another slower one and this time it gets the wicket it deserves. Buttler dropped one in the last game but now he has taken a very good catch. Slower ball once again. There is no fizz on this delivery from Fizz. He once again rolls his wrists like Muralitharan. It is on off. Stoinis is |
| 7.2 : 7.2: Chris Morris to Lalit Yadav, FOUR! Lalit Yadav gets off the mark in the league with a boundary! Morris misses his line and bowls it fullish on middle. It is easy for Lalit. He just places it through mid-wicket using his wrists and gets a boundary. |
| 7.4 : 7.4: Chris Morris to Lalit Yadav, FOUR! Deft from Lalit! He is showing no nerves here. He has come in a tough situation but he is playing well. Slightly behind the length area around off from Morris. Lalit waits for it and places it fine down the third man region. There is a fielder there but he cannot cut it off as that is too fine. |
| 8.1 : 8.1: Riyan Parag to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! SLAMMED! Pant will continue the way he knows to play. Poor start from Parag. Short and wide outside off. Pant slaps it through covers for a boundary. |
| 10.1: Rahul Tewatia to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! SHOT! Tewatia does not start off well! He bowls a short one outside off, Pant stands back and then hammers it through extra cover for a boundary. |
| 10.2 : 10.2: Rahul Tewatia to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Beautiful from Pant! He is playing ths shot so well! Flatter and outside off, Pant flays it through the point region for another boundary. 8 runs from the first two balls. |
| 10.3 : 10.3: Rahul Tewatia to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Three boundaries in three balls! Tewatia is bowling way too short here! He drags it down and bowls it outside off. These are easy pickings for Pant as he thrashes it through extra cover for a boundary. |
| 10.6 : 10.6: Rahul Tewatia to Rishabh Pant, MISFIELD AND FOUR! 20 runs from the over! Chetan Sakariya who took a brilliant catch in the last game has let one easy one pass through his legs. Shorter and outside off, Pant smacks it to deep cover. Sakariya runs across and tries to stop it but it goes in between his legs and into the fence. |
| 11.6: Mustafizur Rahman to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! FIFTY FOR PANT! The Delhi skipper is putting Delhi back in the game! Brilliant innings so far! Shortish and outside off, Pant punches it through cover-point. Parag comes, puts in a dive but in vain. |
| 12.4 : 12.4: Riyan Parag to Rishabh Pant, OUT! RUN OUT! What a piece of fielding from Riyan Parag! Rishabh Pant knows his fate and has already started to walk back before the third umpire's decision. Yes, he is a goner. Brilliant piece of work from Parag. Loopy ball on middle, Pant works it to the side of the pitch on the leg side and takes off for a single. Parag goes after it, collects and has a shy at the bowler's end and hits. The umpire takes it upstairs but Pant knows that he is a goner and the r |
| 12.5 : 12.5: Riyan Parag to Lalit Yadav, FOUR! Nicely played! Tossed up on middle, Lalit whacks it to the deep square leg region for a boundary. |
| 14.2 : 14.2: Chris Morris to Tom Curran, FOUR! Pulled away nicely by Curran! Short ball on middle, Curran pulls it to the deep mid-wicket region for a boundary. |
| 14.5 : 14.5: Chris Morris to Lalit Yadav, OUT! CAUGHT! Great running catch from Rahul Tewatia! Excellent! Slower ball on middle, Lalit looks to go over mid on and it seems that it will clear it but Tewatia runs back, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a very good catch. |
| 16.1 : 16.1: Mustafizur Rahman to Chris Woakes, FOUR! Excellent placement and a perfect start to the death for Delhi. Full ball outside off, Woakes plays a lovely inside-out shot over extra cover. It is placed to perfection and the ball goes to the fence. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: Chetan Sakariya to Chris Woakes, FOUR! Good shot! Valuable runs these for Delhi! Good length ball pitching on off and coming back in. Woakes stays deep in his crease and late cuts it against the swing and away from short third man for a boundary. |
| 18.1 : 18.1: Mustafizur Rahman to Tom Curran, FOUR! CRUNCHED! What a shot from Tom Curran! Half volley outside off, Tom Curran smacks it through extra cover for a boundary. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: Mustafizur Rahman to Tom Curran, OUT! BOWLED! Superb comeback from Mustafizur! He has the last laugh and this is a top-class ball. Once again Mustafizur rolls his wrists and makes the batter turn back to the dugout. It is almost a yorker on middle and off. Tom Curran looks to flick but the ball comes slower, sneaks under Tom's bat and hits the stumps. |
| 18.3 : 18.3: Mustafizur Rahman to Ravichandran Ashwin, FOUR! Very good shot but a very poor ball. Short ball around off, the third man is up so easy for Ashwin. He just places it over the short third man fielder and gets off the mark with a boundary. |
| 18.6 : 18.6: Mustafizur Rahman to Ravichandran Ashwin, OUT! RUN OUT! Smart thinking from Miller, he sends the throw at the keeper's end and Ashwin was relatively slow and has been caught for his lack of speed and a bit of awareness. Fullish ball outside off, Ashwin plays it to the right of sweeper cover. Woakes calls for the second as he is at the danger end but Miller sends a very good throw close to the stumps at the keeper's end. Samson whips the bails off and Ashwin is found wanting. |
| 19.5 : 19.5: Chetan Sakariya to Kagiso Rabada, EDGED AND FOUR! Good length delivery bowled at pace outside off. Rabada comes down the track and looks to punch it through the off side. It takes the inside edge, goes past the stumps and away from short fine leg for a boundary. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: Chris Woakes to Manan Vohra, OUT! CAUGHT! Woakes has the last laugh! Two very good shots but then a poor one and that results in the demise of Vohra. Once again he looks good out in the middle but his stay is a brief one yet again. Pace on this time from Woakes. He goes fuller and with pace on middle and off. Vohra looks to hit it over mid on but the ball comes quicker this time and it hits the lower part of his bat. It goes high in the air behind mid on. Rabada there makes no mistake. Ear |
| 2.2 : 2.2: Chris Woakes to Manan Vohra, FOUR! CRUNCHING SHOT! That is a brilliant shot from Vohra! Quality from Manan! Little too full, little too wide outside off. Vohra pounces on it and creams it through covers for a boundary. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: Chris Woakes to Manan Vohra, FOUR! This time over mid on. Slower delivery on off, it is a very good ball but Vohra picks it up early. He gets under it and lofts it over mid on and gets a boundary. |
| 2.6 : 2.6: Chris Woakes to Jos Buttler, OUT! CAUGHT! Woakes wins the battle of Englishmen and wow what a beauty it is from Woakes. Buttler was getting frustrated as runs were not coming. Woakes bowls the Test match length around off. It pitches outside off, Buttler comes down the track. The ball hits the deck and nips back in. Buttler looks to defend but the ball takes the inside edge, goes to the left of Pant. The Delhi skipper dives and takes a very good one-handed catch. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: Kagiso Rabada to Sanju Samson, FOUR! Samson welcomes Rabada to the 2021 season with a boundary! Poor start from Rabada. He bowls a half-volley to the man who is coming on the back of a majestic century. It is on middle, Samson flicks it through mid-wicket and gets a boundary. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Kagiso Rabada to Sanju Samson, OUT! CAUGHT! Rabada gets the last laugh and it has taken him just three deliveries to get his first victim of the season. The dangerous, the talisman, the man-in-form, the skipper, Sanju Samson departs and Rajasthan are in all sorts of trouble here. 3 wickets in the last 6 balls. Length ball outside off, it is a straight ball. Samson falls in the honey trap. He goes for the drive but gets an outside edge which goes to Dhawan at slip. He makes no mistake and b |
| 5.2 : 5.2: Kagiso Rabada to David Miller, FOUR! Brilliant shot! Miller was in good form in the ODI series against Pakistan. Full ball on off, Miller drives it through mid off for a boundary. |
| 7.1 : 7.1: Avesh Khan to David Miller, FOUR! Poor fielding from Tom Curran in the deep! Avesh Khan provides width outside off, Miller punches it through point. Tom Curran comes across, slides but fails to stop it. |
| 7.4 : 7.4: Avesh Khan to Shivam Dube, OUT! CAUGHT AT FIRST SLIP! Another one falls and Rajasthan are in complete tatters at the moment! Avesh Khan gets a wicket. Good length ball around off, Dube looks to drive but does not move his feet at all. It takes the outside edge and goes to first slip where Dhawan takes the catch. Rajasthan need more 112 in 74 balls. |
| 9.2 : 9.2: Avesh Khan to Riyan Parag, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust! The slower ball is doing the damage. Avesh Khan is happy and Dhawan takes his third catch of the evening. Slower ball on off, Parag looks to go over the off side but does not pick the slower ball. It takes the top edge and lobs towards cover where Dhawan takes a good catch. |
| 9.4 : 9.4: Avesh Khan to David Miller, FOUR! Rajasthan need much more of these! Short ball on middle, Miller pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 9.5 : 9.5: Avesh Khan to David Miller, FOUR! 50 comes up in style for Rajasthan! Good length ball outside off, Miller throws his hands at it and then drives it through extra cover for a boundary. |
| 12.2 : 12.2: Marcus Stoinis to David Miller, FOUR! Much-needed boundary for Rajasthan! Slightly shorter on middle. It is at waist height. Miller stays deep in his crease and pulls it square on the leg side for a boundary. |
| 12.3 : 12.3: Marcus Stoinis to David Miller, FOUR! Beautiful and brute! Slower ball from Stoinis, it is full around off. Miller picks it up early and smashes it through mid off and stands to admire his shot and see the ball race away to the fence. |
| 12.4 : 12.4: Marcus Stoinis to David Miller, FOUR! Hat-trick of boundaries and Stoinis' first over has released a lot of pressure from Rajasthan. Low full toss on off, Miller hits it over the cow corner region for a boundary. |
| 13.3 : 13.3: Tom Curran to Rahul Tewatia, FOUR! Tewatia has decided to spread his wings now. Length ball outside off, Tewatia punches it over mid off. The fielder is up inside the circle so all he needs to do is get it over that man and he does it. Gets a boundary. |
| 13.6 : 13.6: Tom Curran to Rahul Tewatia, FOUR! Inventive from Tewatia! 12 off the over. Low full toss outside off, Tewtia premeditates and sweeps it away from short backward square leg and gets a boundary. 27 off the last two overs. Rajasthan are not yet out of this game. |
| 14.5 : 14.5: Kagiso Rabada to Rahul Tewatia, OUT! CAUGHT! Pant called Rabada to end this stand and KG says 'you got it captain' and delivers. The extra pace of Rabada does the trick here and Tewatia departs when he was slowly finding his groove. Kagiso bangs the deck hard and with pace. It is on middle and leg, cramps Tewatia for room and arrives quicker than he anticipated. He looks to pull but cannot get enough on it and ends up lobbing it to Lalit Yadav at short mid-wicket. 58 needed off 31 balls n |

| 15.5 : 15.5: Avesh Khan to David Miller, OUT! CAUGHT! Is that the end of the game for Rajasthan? What a knock from Miller but he has failed to take Rajasthan home. He felt that this was the bowler to go after and he hit two sixes before this and he tried to hit the third but mistimes one. Khan bowls a full ball on middle, Miller looks to go over long on but fails to time it well. It goes towards long on where Lalit Yadav takes a simple catch. 44 needed in 25 balls. |
| 16.3 : 16.3: Chris Woakes to Jaydev Unadkat, SIX! This is a marvellous hit from Unadkat! Short ball on middle, Unadkat powers it over deep square leg for a maximum. |
