IPL 2017: KXIP vs DD, 5 talking points

#5 Corey Anderson shows his worth

Anderson was instrumental in Delhi Daredevils’ win

After Delhi Daredevils’ defeat to Royal Challengers Bangalore in their tournament opener, New Zealand all-rounder Corey Anderson was drafted into the side to replace Carlos Brathwaite in DD’s second game against the Rising Pune Supergiants. However, he did not get much of a chance to shine, having faced only four deliveries and conceding 10 runs in his only over.

The New Zealander rebounded brilliantly for the Daredevils in their following match against the Kings XI Punjab as he scored a valuable cameo of 39 from 22 deliveries during the death overs to help Delhi reach a strong total of 188/6.

Anderson’s bowling was also pretty decent as he conceded 23 runs in three overs, picking up the wicket of David Miller as the Daredevils registered an important win over Kings XI Punjab. Anderson was adjudged the Man of the Match for his all-round effort.
