IPL 2018, DD vs RCB: 5 talking points

#3 A star is born as Abhishek Sharma lits up the Kotla on his debut

The 17-year-old remained unbeaten on 46 off 19 balls on his IPL debut

One player who gained plenty of attention at the end of the 2018 IPL player auctions was young Nepalese spinner Sandeep Lamichhane who was picked up by the Delhi Daredevils for his base price of Rs 20 lakh.

Lamichhane did well conceding just 25 runs off his four overs as well as picking the wicket of Parthiv Patel but it was another 17-year-old who truly made his mark on the IPL tonight with his scintillating debut as Abhishek Sharma scored an unbeaten 46 off 19 balls to help propel the Delhi innings towards the end.

The teenager looked in total control of his innings and played effortlessly during his knock which featured 3 boundaries and 4 sixes as he helped Delhi score 56 runs in the final four overs to push the side's score past the 180-run mark.
