IPL 2018, KKR vs DD: Hits and Misses

#2 Miss: DD openers

It was Gambhir's second consecutive failure.

Chasing in excess of 200, you always want a good start by the openers. Delhi Daredevils got a good start in their last game, but both Gautam Gambhir and Jason Roy fell quite early.

Jason Roy who is fresh of a splendid unbeaten 91 took a single off his second delivery to get off the mark. But in the very first over, the English opener was out stumped. Roy looked to glance a leg-stump delivery and missed. The momentum took him forward and hence, he was stumped off Piyush Chawla.

Gautam Gambhir started with a good fifty in Delhi’s opening game. But he didn’t bat in the second game and struggled in the third against Mumbai Indians. He was once again dismissed cheaply as the DD skipper dragged a short of length delivery back on to his stumps. It gave youngster Shivam Mavi his maiden IPL wicket as well.
