"delhi-capitals"

Shikhar's wicket was important but we dropped him quite a number of times, says CSK skipper

This century was his third consecutive 50+ score in the tournament and he said he was always in good nick even before these three good knocks.

Delhi Capitals (DC) chased down a total of 180 with five wickets in hand and one ball to spare. Shikhar Dhawan scored his maiden century in IPL and he remained unbeaten on 101.

CSK’s generosity on the field sees Delhi record five-wicket win

26-year-old pacer clocked a breathtaking 156.2 kmph while bowling to Jos Buttler in the third over of RR's run-chase against Delhi Capitals on Wednesday

The 25-year-old bowler held his nerve to help fashion a 13-run victory for Delhi Capitals against Rajasthan Royals on Wednesday night

He also lauded debutant pacer Tushar Deshpande who made his debut and picked up the crucial wicket of Ben Stokes along with bowling the final over to defend 21 runs.

Royals flatter to deceive as Iyer team post their fifth win

His fastest delivery was timed 156.2 kmph that shattered an eight-year-old record of Dale Steyn (154.4 kmph)

The Capitals had beaten RR by 46 runs last week and Steve Smith's men will look to return the compliment when they meet for the second time in the tournament

Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra predicted Suryakumar to be in Indian team by the end of this year.

The 32-year-old Test specialist had played only one of the seven games that the Capitals have played so far, finishing his four overs wicketless for 26 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Abu Dhabi.

Speaking to ANI, sources in the know of developments said that it was just a hamstring strain that has led to soreness which saw the doctor and team management decide against risking Pant

He lauded Mumbai spinners and said they didn’t give them anything.

Pant had injured himself last Friday during the match against Rajasthan Royals - a game which Capitals won by 46 runs in Sharjah.

Chasing 163, the defending champions overhauled the target with two balls to spare and claimed the top spot in the points table with five wins from seven matches

Be it a potent top-order, a strong middle-order or a lethal bowling attack, there is hardly anything that separates the two sides

Delhi Capitals are sitting pretty at the top of the points table with five wins in six games

Their batting unit, led by Smith and Sanju Samson, was firing in the first two matches. However, these batters are awfully out of form even before the tournament reached the half-way stage.

On Friday evening, Rabada returned with figures of 3/35 in his 3.4 overs and in the process took his tournament tally to 15 to hold onto the Purple Cap. He is followed by Mumbai Indians' Jasprit Bumrah, who has 11 wickets in six games.
