Amit Mishra was brilliant for Delhi against Mumbai

Eyebrows were raised when Delhi Daredevils decide to drop the hard-hitting Carlos Brathwaite in favour of South African leg-spinner Imran Tahir making their overseas line-up an all-Proteas affair.

Though he failed to pick up any wicket, Tahir conceded only 29 runs off his four overs despite feeling the heat of Krunal Pandya's bat, thus playing a crucial role in curtailing the Mumbai Indians' run-rate. The night, however, belonged to his less-fancied leg-spin companion Amit Mishra who troubled the opposition batsmen all-day long.

Delhi seem to have got a bargain buy with the way Mishra has been performing so far. He was instrumental in their eight-wicket victory over the Kings XI Punjab that kickstarted their run of three consecutive victories and he played a crucial role tonight as well, striking at two key moments to give Delhi the ascendancy on the night. He outfoxed Ambati Rayudu first and then more crucially Jos Buttler, with googlies, to give his side two crucial breakthroughs.
