Amit Mishra didn’t have a good day with the ball or the bat

The leg spinner would want to erase this match from his memory as quickly as possible. He has surely not started the tournament on a great note as he was taken apart by Kedar Jadhav for 24 runs in one over. Bowling it full under the swinging arc of the batsman, Mishra was smashed for two sixes and two fours in that over.
To make things worse, he couldn't contribute much with the bat as well. He came into bat at number nine with Delhi needing 33 runs in 22 balls. He failed to pick up singles and give Rishabh Pant the strike, who was set on the other end. The 19th over of the innings just went for two runs as Mishra wasted four crucial balls trying to go for the big glory shot.
Lack of application with the bat and game awareness from such a senior cricketer was not a great sight for Delhi Daredevils fans.
