Delhi Capitals seamer, Mukesh Kumar, grabbed two wickets in three balls to help restrict the Mumbai Indians to just 41-2 in the Power Play after choosing to bowl first in their Tata IPL match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Saturday afternoon.
Mukesh (2-12) had Ryan Rickelton (9) caught at mid off and while Tilak Varma (0) chipped a brilliant knuckle ball straight back to the bowler on a pitch which may, happily, be offering a semblance of assistance to the bowlers.
Rohit Sharma was unbeaten on 20 from 13 balls with Suryakumar Yadav, captaining in place of the unwell Hardik Pandya, on 11 from nine. Corbin Bosch replaced Pandya in the starting XI.
