#1 Rahane opening the attack with Gowtham

The skipper was bang on with his captaincy skills in judging the opposition weaknesses and planning accordingly.
Rahane was quick to spot the two overseas openers coming from the Delhi side and threw the ball to Karnataka's Krishnappa Gowtham to start the proceedings.
The off-spinner didn’t disappoint his skipper as he managed to pull off a runout on the first delivery to send the explosive Colin Munro back to the pavilion.
He just conceded ten runs in his first over as it became difficult to clear the ropes. In a game where twelve runs were required every over, the off-spinner did a decent job for his team to start against the likes of Maxwell and Munro.
