At one end, Ravichandran Ashwin was scoring runs, and on the end was Devdutt Padikkal who missed his 50 by just 2 runs. He smashed 6 fours and 2 sixes to score 48 off 30 balls.

But in the 19th over, Anrich Nortje delivered a fullish ball outside off. Devdutt skipped down the track and sliced it aerially towards deep cover. Kamlesh Nagarkoti, one of the best fielders, came to field as a substitute. He came running towards the ball from the fence and dived forward to take a brilliant catch.

It wasn’t a good day for Rajasthan Royals as they scored only a modest 160/6 in 20 overs. It was also an unexpected scene to watch off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin score his maiden half-century in his T20 career. He scored 50 off 38 balls by smashing 4 fours and 2 sixes with a good strike rate of 131.58.

At the time when this article is written DC is batting and Jos Buttler has just failed to grab the catch of David Warner from Yuzvendra Chahal’s delivery. Delhi Capitals have lost only one wicket and scored 73 runs so far 10th overs.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, cricket commentator Aakash Chopra said: “Devdutt Padikkal is batting slowly. In the last match, Hetmyer came in and rescued them. If Hetmyer is not there, I think Rassie van der Dussen might come in. After that, there is Riyan Parag. The batting suddenly looks weak. If DC can get rid of the top three, there is a possibility of them getting on top.”
