IPL 2018, MI vs DD: Hits and Misses

Miss: Gautam Gambhir

Gambhir returned to the pavilion in the last over of the batting powerplay

The Delhi Daredevils skipper started this season with a well-made half-century against the Kings XI Punjab. However, he did not bat in the rain-affected game against the Rajasthan Royals after that.

In Mumbai, he was back at the top of the order for the visitors. He could not replicate his performance there though, and fell for a score of just 15 in 16 deliveries.

Chasing a score in excess of 190 is always hard and puts immense pressure on the opening batsmen. The run rate was seen affecting the former KKR skipper, as the pace of Mustafizur Rahman proved too much for the left-hander.

Gambhir returned to the pavilion in the last over of the batting powerplay, with DD in a strong position at 50-1 after 5.1 overs.
