But it was the chaotic end to DC’s innings that caught consideration.
Who’s that IPL participant?
In an uncommon second during the nineteenth over, the on-field umpire stopped play and had a phrase with RR captain and wicketkeeper Sanju Samson for standing too deep whereas protecting to Jofra Archer. Samson was nearly on the sting of the inside circle, prompting the umpire to intervene simply earlier than Archer bowled his remaining supply of the over.

Then got here a dramatic remaining over from Sandeep Sharma. The skilled pacer, who had given away simply 14 runs in his first three overs, bowled an 11-ball over riddled with extras — 4 wides and a no-ball — and conceded 19 runs. With that, Sharma joined the undesirable file for many deliveries in an IPL over.
The momentum clearly shifted in Delhi’s favour after the extended remaining over.
