During the ninth match of the 11th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Daredevils at Mumbai, Delhi Daredevils’ Daniel Christian picked up two wickets on consecutive deliveries to dent Mumbai Indians’ hope of finishing the finishing the innings on a high note.
After being put in to bat by Gautam Gambhir, Mumbai Indians raced to 84-0 in the first six overs, their highest ever score in the powerplay. After the initial burst by Suryakumar Yadav and Evin Lewis, Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma got into the act of scoring quick runs.
Just when the Indians were running away with the innings, Christian’s two strikes in two balls put to a halt to their approach. On the fourth delivery of the 16th over, Ishan Kishan (44) tried playing a reverse sweep off a Christian full-toss. Missing the ball completely, Kishan had to walk back to the pavilion after playing an awe-inspiring innings.
Kieron Pollard (0) replaced Kishan in the middle, but only for a solitary ball as he was bowled by Christian on the first ball itself. Alongside picking up two wickets, Christian conceded nine runs in the over.
