News India Live, Digital Desk: No one knows what will happen on the IPL field, but what happened with Delhi Capitals (DC) in the last match forced even the opposing captain to think. The Delhi team, which came with the dream of victory against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), made a ‘historic surrender’ during the power play, which has shaken the cricket world, scattering like a pack of cards. After the match, RCB captain Faf Duplessis expressed his happiness, but gave a big statement expressing surprise at the condition of Delhi.
That dreadful scene of power play, which broke Delhi’s back. While chasing the target, Delhi Capitals were expected to give a tough fight to the RCB bowlers. But the story turned out to be just the opposite. Delhi lost its top batsmen within the first 6 overs. The process of falling of wickets was such that even coach Ricky Ponting sitting in the dugout was forced to hold his head. This ‘capitulation’ (kneeling) of Delhi in the power play made the match one-sided and made the path easier for RCB.
Duplessis’ big statement: ‘I couldn’t believe it’ During the presentation after the end of the match, RCB captain Faf Duplessis gave his reaction and said, “To be honest, I am surprised myself. We thought that this match would go till the last over, but the way Delhi’s wickets fell in the power play, it changed the fate of the game.” Duplessis admitted that although his team’s bowling was excellent, Delhi’s collapse was unexpected.
The magic of Bengaluru’s bowling or a huge mistake by Delhi? RCB bowlers took excellent advantage of the moisture and wind of the pitch. Delhi’s batsmen looked helpless in front of the sharp bowling of Mohammad Siraj and Yash Dayal. Cricket experts believe that Delhi batsmen made a huge mistake in shot selection. In this era of T-20 cricket where powerplay is used to score runs, Delhi lost the match during this period. This defeat is not only a defeat for Delhi, but also a big blow to their net run rate and confidence.
Playoff race and RCB’s tremendous comeback With this victory, RCB has revived its faint hopes of playoffs. After facing consecutive defeats, such a one-sided victory has taken the morale of the team to the seventh sky. On the other hand, the journey ahead for Delhi Capitals has now become thorny. Captain Rishabh Pant and his army will now have to introspect as to why the team’s top order comes under so much pressure on big occasions. This match of this season of IPL will be like a nightmare for the fans of Delhi.
