#2 Harbhajan Singh's economical spell

Harbhajan Singh conceded just 26 from four overs while keeping Rishabh Pant and Glenn Maxwell quiet

While the Delhi top-order undoubtedly fell short of expectations, undoubtedly, a cheap four-over spell from veteran Harbhajan Singh choked the opposition in the middle-overs. Just 26 runs were taken off Harbhajan's four overs after three early wickets went down for Delhi.

He kept the dangerous pair of Pant and Maxwell quiet by bowling tossed up and good length deliveries alike, allowing only singles when Delhi were in need of boundaries.

Eventually, when Maxwell attempted a big heave as a result of accumulating pressure, he was bowled off Ravindra Jadeja and Delhi all but lost the game there.
