Currently, the Delhi Capitals (DC) are locking horns with Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in Delhi for the second time in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). After winning the toss, the DC skipper, Shreyas Iyer asked the visitors to bat first. However, the visitors lost their in-form players, KL Rahul in the second over of the match itself.

Gayle and Rahul started cautiously, but Rahul was dismissed by Lamichhane going to Rishabh Pant’s brilliant stumping after smashing the bowler for a six and a four. KXIP batsmen lost wickets in regular intervals as Mayank Agarwal was dismissed by Kagiso Rabada in the 5th over followed by David Miller getting dismissed by Axar Patel in the 7th over.
