Faf Du Plessis ne is match ko “David vs Goliath” battle bola – aur is baar Goliath ne jeet dikhayi. MI ne Wednesday raat Wankhede Stadium mein Delhi Capitals ko har department mein pichhe chhod diya chahe batting ho, bowling yap hir game planning.
Home team MI ne dikhaya planning, patience aur execution mein top class performance diya. DC ki team waisa impact nahi daal payi, upar se unke regular skipper Axar Patel bhi available nahi the, jo du Plessis ke mutabiq “do players ke Barabar hai ek badiya spinner aur ek zabardast bastmen.”
Surface tricky tha, but MI ke plans solid the
Wicket slow tha, ball ruk ke aa raha tha, turn ho raha tha – isliye MI ke batters ne aggressive hone ke bajaye smart game khela. Aur apne set batter ko end tak Rakha aur last ke do overs mein 48 runs thok diya.
Suryakumar Yadav ne bataya, “Ye wicket slow tha aur humein pata tha ki last mein ek over 15-20 ka aayega. Naman ne jo energy laayi, usne game palat diya.” Surya 73* pe not out rahe aur unka season ka best knock tha.
Delhi Capitals ne momentum kho diya
DC ke coach Hemang Badani ne bhi maanaa ki last ke do overs mein match ka flow badal diya. “48 runs in 2 overs is just too much” unhone kaha. Mukesh Kumar aur Dushmantha chameera ne last ke overs dale, but wo MI ke counterattack ko rok nahi paaye. Badani ne ye bhi kaha ki bowlers ko cutters aur wide yorkers daalne chahiye the, but agar aap Surya jaise experienced batter ke against galti karte ho to wo maaf nahi Karega.
Bumrah, Boult, aur Santner ne dikhaya bowling ka asli magic
180 runs ka target defend karna koi aasan kaam nahi hota, bbut jab aapke paas Bumrah, Boult aur Mitchell Santner jaison ka bowling attack ho, to kuch bhi mumkin hai. Santner ne 4 overs mein only 11 runs dekar 3 wickets liye aur DC ke middle order ko hi tod diya. Santner ne kaha, mera kaam tha variantions dena aur batters ko confuse karna. Aur jab pitch pe thoda spin milta hai to aur bhi maza aata hai.
Momentum ne match ka game badla
MI ka 18 overs ke baad only 132 run tha, laga ki DC ke paas match hai. but Surya aur Naman ne jo lst 2 overs mein kiya – usne match ka pura narrative badal diya. Du Plessis ne bhi bola, “momentum is real in cricket.
Mi ne kiya comeback, playoffs mein entry
Last season ke disappointment ke baad MI ka ye comeback kahaani ban gaya hai. season mein 11th baar playoffs mein entry leke, MI ne dikhaya ki form temporary ho sakta hai, class permanent. Ab MI ke paas momentum bhi hai, team balance bhi aur confidence bhi – jo RCB, PBKS aur GT jaisi teama ke liye danger bell bajaa raha hai.
