‘Puri team ko hospital me hona chahiye’- Twitter trolls Delhi Capitals as they lose 3 back-to-back matches in IPL 2023
In a highly anticipated match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, Rajasthan Royals (RR) went against Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. RR won the toss and chose to bat first. Their decision turned out to be a great one as they posted a mammoth total of 199/4 in their 20 overs.
Yashasvi Jaiswal started the innings for RR with a flurry of boundaries. He scored 60 off 31 balls, smashing 11 fours and 1 six. The young opener looked in great touch and set the tone for the Royals innings. Captain Jos Buttler played a captain’s knock, scoring 79 off 51 balls with 11 fours and 1 six. Buttler’s innings was a mixture of aggression and smart batting as he held the innings together.
Simron Hetmyer provided the finishing touch for RR with his 39 off 21 balls, which included 1 four and 5 sixes. Hetmyer’s big hits at the end of the innings helped RR reach an imposing total of 199/4. Delhi Capitals needed a special effort to chase down this total.
In reply, DC started their innings well with David Warner and Prithvi Shaw opening the batting. However, Shaw departed early, and from then on, DC kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Captain David Warner tried his best to keep the chase alive with his 65 off 55 balls, which included 7 fours. Unfortunately, he did not get much support from the other batsmen.
Lalit Yadav played a cameo of 38 off 24 balls with 5 fours, but it was not enough to take DC over the line. Trent Boult was the pick of the bowlers for RR as he took 3 wickets in 4 overs. Yuzvendra Chahal also impressed with his bowling, taking 3 wickets in 4 matches. Ravi Ashwin chipped in with 2 wickets in 4 matches.
In the end, RR emerged as the winners by 37 runs, which was a comprehensive victory for them. RR’s victory was a result of a team effort, where everyone contributed in one way or the other. With this win, RR moved to the top of the IPL 2023 points table, and DC slipped to the fifth position.
