Kuldeep Yadav in next. A single to covers, the fielder fumbles the ball which ends the prospect of a run out opportunity. SIX! In the arc and Ashutosh launches this into the sight screen. FOUR! Ashutosh slaps this through cover, too much power on this for the fielder in the deep to cut this. SIX more!

Siddharth returns, with two right handers out in the middle. Couple of singles to start the over. Stubbs brings out the reverse sweep and times it to perfection. FOUR!!
Prince Yadav gets his first over in IPL. Hard length and Ashutosh flicks it past the keeper. Good diving stop by Digvesh to prevent a boundary at deep third man. Stubbs nearly runs himself out after a miscommunication with Ashutosh. That could have been the game for LSG. 
Stubs goes inside out against Bishnoi. It goes high and has enough wings to clear the fence. SIX!! In the slot now for Ashuthosh. Blasted over extra cover for a four. DC needs more of this!
Ashutosh Sharma comes in for Delhi Capitals as the Impact Player. He gets going with a four thanks to a thick outside edge against Digvesh. The required rate is climbing for DC. 
Ravi Bishnoi introduced. He misses his length. Too short and Faf thumps it away for a six. Bishnoi loops one in and Faf goes for it again. Its a skier and Miller completes a good catch. DC crumbling!
Faf du Plessis c Miller b Ravi Bishnoi 29 (18b 3×4 2×6)

Mohit to bowl the last over. He rolls his fingers over the second delivery, it’s a fraction wide and the umpire signals a wide. Two runs with a swipe down the gound on the second ball. The fourth is again a slower one, off cutter, Miller swings and is nowhere near the ball. SIX! 200 for LSG. This time he reads the slower one, it is shorter which allows him the time, pulls it into the second tier. One more SIX! A carbon copy of the previous delivery, way over the deep mid wicket fielder.
Starc to bowl his final over. Angling down leg to Shahbaz, he picks it up and nearly gets caught at fine leg, just one run in the end. A single to deep midwicket for Miller. FOUR! A length ball, Shahbaz pummels this wide of deep midwicket. 
OUT! A bouncer, it’s too quick for Shahbaz who top edges his pull to square leg.

Ravi Bishnoi walks in to the middle. GONE! A yorker to clean him up. Starc ends with three wicket.
Ravi Bishnoi b Starc 0(2)
Mohit to bowl the next. FOUR! An over-the-waist no ball, Miller slices this over backward point. A free hit coming up. Just one run to deep midwicket on the extra ball. Ahmad tries to cut the fifth delivery, gets an underedge to short third man for one run. A slower delivery to finish the over, beats Miller. Ten runs from the over. 
Kuldeep to bowl his final over. The first delivery drifts towards the leg stump before turning square, hits Miller on the back pad and DC go up for a review. The drift ensures the ball is pitching outside leg and DC loses its review.
OUT! Badoni is gone! A stock delivery, Badoni charges down to whack but the bat turns in his hand and he picks Stubbs at long on.
Ayush Badoni c Stubbs b Kuldeep 4(5)
Shardul Thakur is the new batter in, misses a sweep first up. RUN OUT! Shardul hits through covers and wants a run, Miller sends him back. Axar dives and gives a pin-point throw to complete the dismissal. Shardul slips mid way while turning back which helps DC’s cause.
Shardul Thakur run out (Axar/Porel) 0(2)
Shahbaz Ahmad at No. 8. A single through midwicket off the final delivery. Kuldeep Yadav ends his four overs at 2/20. 
Axar back into the attack. Ayush Badoni punches off his back foot to deep covers for one. A length delivery to Miller, a bit of flight, Miller clips it to deep midwicket. A risky single, Badoni steps down and defends, the batters set off for a run and Miller has a close shave at the striker’s end. A single for Miller to deep cover. Another run for Badoni, works it away to fine leg. Axar sticks to the pads, Miller clips to deep square leg for the sixth single of the over. 
Starc back for his third. A single for Miller to deep point. FOUR! Starc’s attempted yorker ends up going full, it’s nearly a beamer but Pooran was set on playing a ramp, still manages to, just about, and gets it past the keeper’s left. A no ball check for being over the waist but it’s a legal delivery. Pooran pulls the next, gets just one. Mukesh Kumar twists his ankle at deep square while fielding that delivery. Miller with a single to covers.
WICKET! The stumps uprooted, finally a sight for the bowlers to savour. A hint of reverse swing which beats Pooran’s on-sided slog.
Nicholas Pooran b Starc 75(30)
A single for Ayush Badoni to long on.
Kuldeep to Pant. WICKET! Three dot balls on the trot and Pant ends up lofting the fourth to long off. Not a memorable outing for the LSG skipper – a six-ball duck.
Rishabh Pant c du Plessis b Kuldeep 0(6)
David Miller comes in next, gets a single to square leg.
Tristan Stubbs to bowl. He starts with a yorker to Pooran. SIX! A sweep over deep square, this is too full which allows Pooran to loft this. SIX, that’s FIFTY for Pooran, hits it right back over the bowler’s head. SIX more! This is coming into Pooran, allowing him to go onto his back foot and hit over midwicket. SIX over covers, too wide and Pooran heaves this over long off. FOUR, drills this full delivery down the ground. 28 runs from the over.
SIX! Mukesh with a slower one but way outside the off stump and Marsh uses his levers to hoist this over deep covers. A punch to long on on the second, one run. A short delivery from over the wicket to Pooran, he miscues the pull and gets just one run. OUT! Mukesh breaks the partnership, another pace off delivery and Marsh’s slog flies into the hands of Stubbs at long on.
Mitchell Marsh c Stubbs b Mukesh 72(36)
Rishabh Pant walks in at No. 4.
Mohit Sharma to Pooran, FOUR, angling into the leftie from a length, who pulls it away through midwicket. A single to long on the second. A leg bye on the third, Marsh is set up for a pull, but Mohit deceives him with a slower one. The fourth is a low full toss, Pooran drives to long off for one run. Another slower one to Marsh, his full-bladed drive gets an inside edge and gets him a single to fine leg. Mohit takes the pace off on the final delivery, Pooran leaves it expecting a wide but it’s a legal delivery.
Kuldeep to bowl his second over now. Pooran picks a single to covers. Marsh cuts the second but cannot beat the point fielder. Another dot ball, Marsh drives straight in the direction of the covers fielder. SIX! Marsh miscues this swipe from wide outside off, it was a googly and took the toe end, still had enough on it to clear long on. A single to deep midwicket next. A soft tap through extra covers for one for Pooran.
Mohit Sharma introduced. DC needs a breakthrough or two to get back into this game. Mohit gives away a wide against Pooran and another one against Marsh. Width now and Marsh slices it away for a four. 
Kuldeep Yadav into the attack and Pooran takes him on with a sweep shot. FOUR! Another sweep and another four. DC running out of ideas on the face of this onslaught. 
An over to forget for Vipraj. First Marsh slams him for a massive six down the leg side. Then, Pooran slams him for back-to-back sixes. Then he gets an edge off Pooran which is spilled by Sameer Rizvi. Pooran celebrates his life by banging another six. 
Mukesh Kumar gets his first over of the season. Starts with leg-side wide. Mukesh goes short and Marsh picks it early. SIX!!! Back of a length now. Pulled again. Four now.
Vipraj Nigam strikes in his first over in IPL. Flights one in, forcing Markram to dole out a catch to long off. 
Aiden Markram c Starc b Nigam 15 (13b 1×4 1×6)
Nicholas Pooran walks in at No. 3 for LSG. He gets off the mark with an edged four through third man. 
LSG 50/0 in 5 overs
Rathi made the headlines with his performances in the Delhi Premier League last year where he scalped 14 wickets in 10 matches.
Width offered by Axar and Marsh accepts it with a cut shot. FOUR!! DC burns a review in hopes for a LBW. Again, Axar ties it back after a boundary. 
Markram takes on Starc with a straight bat. Over long off for a six. GLORIOUS!! Another short ball. This time Marsh nails the pull. FOUR!! Marsh goes bigger now. Slogs Starc over mid wicket for a six. Back of a length and clubbed away by Marsh for another four. 
Axar brings himself on early. Width offered and slashed away for a four by Markram. Better length from Axar from the rest of the over. Only one single conceded other than the boundary. 
As expected, Mitchell Starc with the new ball. Markram and Marsh opening for LSG. Markram defends the first two off the back foot. Starc goes for a bouncer. Play and miss from Markram. 140+ kmph there. On the pads from Starc and Marsh gets under it. Flicked away for a six!

Innings: 6 | Runs: 220 | Avg: 36.66 | SR: 170.54 | 50s: 2 | HS: 55
The Delhi Capitals captain on Sunday said that KL Rahul had joined the squad only on the match eve due. He was late to make it to the team due to personal reasons. There’s still suspense over his place in the starting XI.
Spin – 60 wickets | Avg – 24.10 | Eco – 7.56
Pace – 122 wickets | Avg – 24.62 | Eco – 7.97
The highest score at today’s venue is 272/7, scored by Kolkata Knight Riders last season.
Delhi Capitals was bundled out for 166 runs in response.
Tamim, representing Mohammedan, experienced discomfort in the first innings and was immediately taken to Fazilatunnesa Hospital.
MS Dhoni was in favour of BCCI implementing Impact Player rule in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in the 2023 season, saying that the tournament didn’t require any additions at that point.
IPL is all about the batters nowadays. So, if we get something for the bowlers, it’s very nice to see. If there is something for the bowlers, it’s great for the game as well. As for the usage of saliva, they (the pacers) can find that reverse swing at the end.
In the IPL, the dew factor is there in most of the venues. So, if after 10 overs the fresh ball is there, the bowlers can (better) execute something. So, I think they are good rules for the bowlers. They have something to execute and they might find it easier (to contain runs). 
“Unfortunately, Mohsin I think sustained a small calf injury in his rehab (from his knee injury). So, knowing that we had four guys out, we had to make that tough call on Mohsin (ruled out for the season). We think Avesh Khan (knee injury) will pass his right to play tomorrow morning through the NCA,” Super Giants’ head coach Justin Langer said.
“So, if that’s the case, then he’ll be back sooner rather than later. Akash Deep (back injury) is up and running, and bowling at about 90 per cent now. I believe he’s done his Yo-Yo test. So, he’s really ticking off all the boxes.”
Delhi Capitals’ new captain Axar Patel on Sunday said that he is honoured to be leading the franchise and confident of the team he’s been entrusted with this IPL season.
