Delhi Daredevils' amazing fightback with the ball
With the kind of start Dwayne Smith and Brendon McCullum gave the Gujarat Lions, the home crowd at the Feroz Shah Kotla might have been expecting the worst. But Delhi Daredevils, led by the South African duo of Chris Morris and Imran Tahir, made an amazing fightback to keep them in the game.
Tahir, preferred to the big-hitting Carlos Braithwaite, provided the initial breakthrough by trapping Smith in front of the wickets while Morris accounted for the big two – McCullum and Suresh Raina – to truly change the course of the game. Delhi never let the opposition off the hook after that and were able to restrict Gujarat for just 172 runs when a total beyond 200 looked easily attainable at one stage.
