There is no arguing the credentials of the Sri Lankan skipper with bat or ball. But in a team packed with top order batsmen and lots of all-rounders, Mathews seems like a misfit. His bowling lacked the pace or variation to trouble batsmen of the class of Williamson and Dhawan.

Delhi’s think-tank, however, persisted with Mathews and in fact gave him increased bowling duties despite the set Williamson taking a liking towards him. The No. 3 batsman launched him for a six in his first over, the last over of the powerplay.

Surprisingly, he was brought back in the death overs with the 16th over taken for 13. He still wasn't taken off and bowled a poor 18th over that went for a further 12. With figures of 3-0-41-0, Mathews' stay in the side might be short-lived. The Lankan seems a huge gamble with the ball these days with little pace up his sleeve. He also seems to have lost a bit of confidence with the bat.
