Coming to bat in the last five overs, Dhoni did not take much time to settle down as he smoked 20 runs off just 9 balls which included 2 maximums and one boundary. Dhoni’s daughter Ziva and wife Sakshi was also present in the stadium as they cheered for Thala with the crowd getting absolutely mad seeing the veteran bat. The Yellow Army managed to reach 167 runs in their allotted 20 overs. For DC, Axar Patel was the pick of the bowlers.
“The wicket is slow and the ball is stopping as well. There is dew now. It won’t be very easy but I think it’s chaseable. Not much dew, but it won’t be easy to grip the ball. (On Conway’s wicket) His main shots are sweep and reverse-sweep, captain wanted to have deep square leg, I told no and wanted him to hit towards that area,” Axar said in mid-innings break.
I bowled the first ball full and he missed it. Glad that I got a wicket off the first ball, otherwise I may not have completed my quota of four overs (laughs),” he added.
