Five–time IPL champions Mumbai Indians defeated Delhi Capitals by 12 runs in a thrilling match on Sunday. After winning four consecutive matches, Delhi Capitals‘ victory chariot stopped at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in front of Mumbai. This was Delhi‘s first defeat in this IPL season. However, Delhi would have won this match comfortably. He was scoring fast and approaching his target. But then one ball changed the whole match, Delhi Capitals lost the match they won. Mumbai Indians snatched victory from the jaws of DC. Let us tell you how a ball proved to be the turning point of this match.
- This magic ball became the turning point of the match Chasing a target of 206 runs, Delhi Capitals were shocked in the form of Jake Fraser McGurk on the first ball. But then three years later, Karun Nair, playing IPL, took over the innings. He started washing Mumbai Indians as soon as he arrived. Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult… No one was left out. Nair and Abhishek Porel had a partnership of more than 100 runs. After the completion of 11 overs, Delhi‘s score was 128 runs. Winning from here looked easy.
- But the next over came New Zealand‘s veteran spinner Mitchell Santner, which changed the whole game. Karun Nair, who was scoring fast on the third ball of this over, hit a wonderful four. But on the next ball, Santner made Karun Nair eat all four. Santner bowled such a ‘magic ball‘ that Karun Nair was watching. Actually, after the ball fell, it turned around and Nair missed the entire line, due to which the ball hit his off stump.
- The turning ball of Santner: This ball or say this wicket was the biggest turning point of the match. After this, wickets fell at frequent intervals of Delhi. None of the batsmen could stay on the pitch. At the same time, Nair was seen in good rhythm. His dismissal also cost Delhi a lot. If he had lasted a few more overs, perhaps the result of the match would have been different. Karun Nair‘s wicket was the turning point of the match. Nair scored 89 runs in 40 balls with the help of 5 sixes and 12 fours.
- Karun Nair the Hero: Karun Nair announced his return to the Indian Premier League in the most heroic fashion, slamming a 22-ball half-century for Delhi Capitals in their clash against Mumbai Indians on April 13. Coming on as an impact sub following the early dismissal of Jake Fraser-McGurk, Nair took on a red-hot MI bowling attack to bring up his first IPL fifty in seven years.
