During the 52nd match of the 11th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between Delhi Daredevils (DD) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Delhi, Delhi Daredevils’ Sandeep Lamichhane executed his plan to perfection which earned him the wicket of the opposition captain on Suresh Raina.

After MS Dhoni, captain of Chennai Super Kings, won the toss and put the home team in to bat, Delhi Daredevils scored 162-5 in their allotted quota of 20 overs. Harshal Patel and Vijay Shankar’s late surge aided their team to post a decent total on the board.

Suresh Raina had come in to bat at No. 3 in the seventh over when Shane Watson was dismissed on 14. Raina was initially seen being very watchful. However, in getting his eye in, his strike rate dipped considerably.

On the first delivery of the 14th over, Raina tried to break the shackles as he attempted to hit a Lamichhane googly over the boundary. Not able to get under the ball, he ended up hitting the ball to Vijay Shankar. Raina ended up scoring 15 (18) with the help of one four.

Lamichhane, who had opened the bowling alongside Trent Boult, impressed one and all for the second time in a row. He ended up with economical bowling figures of 4-0-21-1. Dismissing someone of Raina’s stature must have meant a lot to him.
