When Delhi were up and running in the second half, Nanda Kumar produced a scintillating solo run and cut inside to shoot the ball from outside the box. It was a very well timed shot, but Gurpreet made sure about getting enough power to shove it away.
In the second half, he mainly operated through the left wing which gave him enough time and space to exploit the visitors' defence. His powerful run was the reason for the third goal in the second half. With the ability to play anywhere across the attack, Nanda is an automatic starter in this side.
