May 03, 2016  22:35


Delhi 85-0 (9 ovs) vs Gujarat 149-7


Despite Gujarat needing a wicket to pull back things, Raina continues, bowling his third over on the trot, ahead of his specialist bowlers like Faulkner, Jadeja and Kaushik.

Raina comes up with a superb over and is unlucky not to get the wicket of de Kock (30) as wicketkeeper Karthik misses an easy stumping.

Left-arm chinaman Shivil Kaushik comes into the attack. Pant looks to reverse the first ball but gets a glove which goes past the wicketkeeper for a four.

De Kock also attempts the shot later in the over but can't beat the fielder inside the circle, however, they still get a single courtesy of an overthrow as six come from Kaushik's first over.

Raina will bowl out here as he continues to bowl his fourth over on the trot. Pant smashes the second ball straight down the ground for a four. The next ball is short as the left-hander rocks back and pulls it through midwicket for another boundary to race to 44 from 23 balls.

He continues his assault as he comes down the track and lofts Raina over long-on for a six to race to his fifty in grand style, from just 25 balls.
