Axar Patel took a stunning caught and bowled dismissal of Ishan Kishan, who attempted a pull shot but mistimed it, delivering a crucial breakthrough for Delhi Capitals.
In the 11th over of the ongoing Mumbai Indians versus Delhi Capitals IPL 2024 match at Wankhede, Axar Patel claimed a sensational catch to dismiss Ishan Kishan.
Kishan, who was in fine form, attempted a pull shot but only managed to get a bottom edge off the bat. Axar, coming from around the wicket, reacted quickly and grabbed the ball with one hand, pulling off an extraordinary catch. It was a crucial breakthrough for Delhi Capitals as Kishan was looking dangerous. The MI batter departed for a well-made 42 off 23 balls.
Earlier, Delhi Capitals won the toss and elected to bowl first. Rohit Sharma, the former Mumbai Indians skipper, reached a milestone by completing 1,000 runs against Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024. However, his quest for a half-century was cut short by spinner Axar Patel, who clean-bowled him for 49 runs off 24 balls.
Following Rohit’s dismissal, pacer Anrich Nortje made a significant impact by dismissing Suryakumar Yadav in his comeback game at the Wankhede Stadium. On the match front, Delhi Capitals are bouncing back strongly after the Mumbai Indians’ openers dominated the powerplay.
