After successful the toss, the Delhi Capitals made a formidable begin, reaching 80/zero within the first eight overs. Nonetheless, their momentum faltered when each their openers, David Warner and Prithvi Shaw, had been dismissed after the powerplay. But, Mitchell Marsh and Rishabh steadied the ship for Delhi, forging a strong 31-run partnership and guiding their crew to 129/2 by the 14th over. Nonetheless, the sport took a dramatic flip when MS Dhoni introduced again Matheesha Pathirana to bowl the 15th over.
In a shocking show of talent, Pathirana unleashed a blazing 150 kmph yorker on the fourth supply of the over, leaving Marsh bewildered because it rattled the stumps. Undeterred, the 21-year-old adopted it up with one other impeccable yorker on the final ball, dismissing Tristan Stubbs with equal precision. The ball, once more clocking round 150 kmph, crashed onto the center stump, leaving the 23-year-old South African batsman surprised. Outsmarting two modern-day exponents of T20 cricket with sheer precision and talent, Pathirana introduced CSK again within the contest in an over itself.
The cricketing group on Twitter erupted in reward for Pathirana’s game-changing efficiency, acknowledging the younger Sri Lankan pacer’s brilliance on the sphere.

Pathirana single handedly modified the complexion of the sport, that catch of the season after which these two bombs onto stumps.
