Taking the reigns of captaincy from Gautam Gambhir, the new Delhi captain Shreyas Iyer continued his rich vein of form as he smashed another half-century in no time. DD ended up with the score of 219/4 on board, which is the highest in the season so far. KKR was taken aback early by the first assault from Prithvi Shaw and then Shreyas Iyer. Glenn Maxwell chipped in to complete the stellar effort.

At the toss, we greeted the new Delhi captain Shreyas Iyer. The new captain was brimming with confidence. The suspicion of Gautam Gambhir being dropped was proved to be true and he was replaced by Colin Munro. Daniel Christian was removed to include Vijay Shankar. KKR also made one change to the personnel and replaced Tom Curran with Mitchell Johnson.

The start this time for Delhi Daredevils was stupendous. The youngster Prithvi Shaw announced himself to the world and improved his last match effort immensely. DD, in fact, registered their best powerplay score and scored their fastest fifty also.

Colin Munro making his return to the team made sure he made the most of the chance received. He smacked 33 runs from just 18 balls and provided the early momentum. Munro was bowled the youngster Shivam Mavi. Another youngster Prithvi Shaw was severe on anything in his zone and was in a murderous mood.

Prithvi Shaw played an amazing knock of 62 from just 44 balls with 6 fours and two sixes. It was difficult to overshadow his innings but his Mumbai partner Shreyas Iyer did just that. Iyer was out to prove his credentials with the bat and he made a solid statement.

The last over of Shivam Mavi was blasted for 29 runs by Shreyas Iyer alone. He stroked four huge sixes and a sole boundary to take Delhi’s score from 190/4 to 219/4. Iyer himself was 93 not out from just 40 balls with 10 sixes. Glenn Maxwell supported with 27 runs in 18 balls.

DD has ended up with 219 runs on the board. KKR will need a miracle from Lynn or Russell to overhaul this grand total.
