Delhi Capitals were right on the course of winning the game against the Mumbai Indians on Sunday at 135/2 chasing 205 runs with Karun Nair batting superbly. However, Kiwi spinner Mitchell Santner would pick up the wicket of 89 after Nair would score 40-ball 89 runs. At this point in the game Capitals were fairly ahead.
But what unfolded was unprecedented. The Capitals collapsed losing seven wickets for 58 runs. “After Karun got out, their momentum broke. And after that, we got two or three wickets quickly. That changed the game,” observed Man of the Match Karn Sharma after the game. “Obviously, KL Rahul is a big name and he had finished the game for them (against Royal Challengers Bengaluru) in the last match. But all the wickets were important for us at that time.
Karn has been warming the bench for Mumbai this season so far and has got his first opportunity against the Capitals. It was his spell (4-0-36-3) in the middle overs which helped Mumbai to make possible the improbable. “Feels very good that my hard work has paid off. Whenever I get a chance, I want to do my best. It’s a big tournament, only 12 can play. I just focus on my process, rest is not in my hands. KL Rahul’s wicket was my favourite.”
“I have played a lot in Delhi, so I know how the ball will behave on this wicket,” Karn would tell after the game. “But we didn’t expect dew because there was no dew in the first innings. “When you get the ball replaced, the new ball has an upright seam, so it gives you purchase from the wicket. That helped us.”
