Today’s second match is between Punjab Kings led by KL Rahul and Delhi Capitals led by Rishabh Pant.
Both teams look for a win to move themselves up the ladder on the IPL 2021 points table.
Delhi Capitals won the toss and chose to bowl here at Wankhede stadium.
Chris Woakes opens the bowling attack for Delhi as Punjab sends KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal to start hitting big for them. Woakes bowled a decent over, conceding 5 runs with zero wickets.
Pant brings Lukman Meriwala to the bowling attack, a left-arm fast-medium bowler who was the leading wicket-taker in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy for Baroda. But IPL is a whole other ball game ad KL Rahul drives the ball through covers for a boundary on his very first ball. The next ball, KL Rahul almost gave a golden chance to Delhi but Steven Smith failed to take the catch and it proved very costly for Delhi as KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal start punishing Lukman with boundaries trashing 20 runs off his first over.
