At the end of the 15th over, Rajasthan Royals needed 39 runs from 30 balls to beat Delhi Capitals. Robin Uthappa was batting on 28 off 21 balls and he was partnered by Rahul Tewatia, who had already helped RR with two successful chases in IPL 2020, in the middle.
But then, Delhi Capitals staged an incredible comeback to win by 13 runs and they did that on the back of some truly aggressive bowling.
It all started with Ravichandran Ashwin’s over. The off-spinner conceded just two runs in 16th over. He took no wicket but the asking rate went from 7.80 before the start of the over to 9.25.
In a match where DC’s other bowlers took a bit of a stick in the Powerplay overs, Ashwin’s spell of 4-0-17-1 was vital in helping them get back in the game.
End of 16th over: RR 125/5
After that Shikhar Dhawan, who was standing in as captain for the injured Shreyas Iyer, turned to Kagiso Rabada.
This was a vital over. If RR had a good over then the match would have perhaps irreversibly turned in their favour. But Rabada did just enough to keep them real. One perfectly executed ramp shot by Tewatia got RR a four that they badly needed....
