The 31st match in IPL 8 season has given much thrill to the spectators as the Kings XI Punjab batsmen followed one after other towards pavilion because of Zaheer Khan’s powerful deliveries and Nathan Coulter-Nile’s superb bowling at Feroz Shah Kotla cricket stadium.
Opener Virender Sehwag has faced just 2 balls and sent out by Zaheer, and another opener Mana Vohra struggled like anything and just has scored only one run in seven balls. Another bowler Nathan Coulter-Nile has taken 4 wickets with his heroic bowling and got the Man of the Match title.
Except David Miller (42), Captain Bailey and Axar Patel (22) no one has impressed with their bat. Duminy and Amit Mishra got one wicket each.
In reply to KXIP’s 118 runs, Delhi boys have started a stable and perfect innings as the openers Mayank Agarwal (52* runs in 40 balls with 6 fours and 1 six) and Shreyas Iyer (54 runs in 40 balls 4 fours 3 sixes) have finished the game almost as the opening partnership was 106 in 12.3 overs. Mayank with Saurabh Tiwary (5* runs in 4 balls with 1 four) have finished the game in 13.5 overs.
Delhi Daredevils, who came in lavender after tying up with Yuvraj Singh's YouWeCan foundation to mark the Cancer Survivor Day, really mesmerized with perfection.
