The boy from Chennai made it count against his home side by putting an extraordinary performance. Nandha Kumar was the best player for the visitors, the rest of them looked very flat and struggled for ideas all over the pitch.
Whenever the Indian International got the ball, he tried to make things happen through the left flank. The Delhi Dynamos attacker was constantly giving trouble to Inigo Calderon who looked rusty throughout the game. Moreover, he looked decisive in the final third by finding Daniel with a ball that gave Delhi the lead. In the second half, he took a shot from outside the box, which ricocheted off Mailson Alves to double the advantage for the visitors.
Nandha Kumar impressed last season by registering an assist when he took out the field in a 2-2 draw. This has been an eventful ground for the 22-year-old who looked assured from minute to claim the Hero of the Match this time.
