Axar Patel faced the wrath of the BCCI for breaching the IPL code of conduct during the game and, hence, was penalised.
Delhi’s winning streak ends
The new-look Delhi side roared to the top of the PL points table after winning all four of their first four matches this season. However, Mumbai handed them a reality check on Sunday, as Delhi slipped to second place.
Chasing 206 for victory, Delhi looked to be cruising at 135-2 when Karun Nair departed on 89. Leg-spinner Karn soon triggered a collapse to bowl out the hosts for 193. The 33-year-old, playing his first IPL game in three years, was the star performer for Delhi. He walked in as an impact sub with the team at 0-1 and scored his first IPL fifth in seven years off just 22 balls, which included two sixes in the same over against Jasprit Bumrah.
The victory, meanwhile, got Mumbai back to winning ways with just their second victory in six matches. Needing 23 runs off the last 12 balls, Ashutosh Sharma raised hopes with two boundaries off Bumrah, but the last three balls of the 19th over threw up three run-outs.
