They say T20 cricket is cruel for the bowlers as the margin of error for them is pretty less and in most of the matches, the batters dominate. But, during the game between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Delhi Capitals (DC), Anrich Nortje was elated after getting Ruturaj Gaikwad who had smashed him for a boundary on the previous ball.

CSK started off well against DC in the 55th match of the Indian Premier (DC) League 2022. After winning the toss, Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant opted to bowl against MS Dhoni’s CSK. Pant’s decision to bowl backfired as CSK openers Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway were in terrific form from ball one of the game.
