What’s the odds of keeping Rishabh Pant quiet for an entire over? Krishnappa Gowtham earned the boasting rights by bowling out a maiden over to Pant. He started with two quick armers from round the stumps and Pant missed the first and barely managed to chop the next one away from stumps. Gowtham slowed the pace on the third and Pant tapped it away. Another slower full delivery followed, and Pant mistimed and edged it away. Gowtham completed the full circle with two quick armers and Pant just about managed to keep the last one from the stumps; in fact he had to knock it away after the edge threatened to take the ball towards the stumps. The slider is always a good ball to bowl to Pant, who for some reason most often than not tries the cut shot despite its length and line, and gets into a tangle many a time.

Holder to bowl the last over. What a terrific last over from him. Just 7 runs off the last over. DC are 149/3 after 20 overs.
What a great shot by Pant. He plays a helicopter shot against Avesh Khan and picks a boundary. This is an expensive over by Avesh Khan. DC are 142/3 after 19 overs.
Sarfaraz Khan plays it fine and gets a boundary against Avesh Khan. Two consecutive boundaries for him. Delhi batters are going strong now. DC are 127/3 after 16.4 overs.
Ravi Bishnoi is 21, looks 16. He wears shoes that are baby pink, a shade more suited for the chu chu whistling footwear that toddlers love. When praised he hangs his tongue out in embarrassment. If his captain gives him a stare, he looks like a child caught with his hand stuck in a sugar jar. And it is this persona that gives the sly leggie a layer of deception. Though he might look like one, Bishnoi is not a little boy straying on field during Daddy's corporate cricket game. Against him today was Rovman Powell, the big burly Jamaican known for his brutal strokes that intimidate most bowlers. Bishnoi isn't one of them. He threw up a wrong 'un that spun like a super-sonic top with wings. The extra revolutions made the ball hang in air that much longer and fall wee bit shorter, Powell's mighty heave merely disturbed the air around the crease. The ball hit the stumps and the boy with chu chu whistling footwear jumped in joy.

Pant hits a boundary against Tye. It's a full-toss delivery and Pant times it to perfection. He hits another one for a six. DC are 110/3 after 15.4 overs.
What a shot by Pant. He hits it through the covers against Ravi Bishnoi. Pant is playing fearless cricket now. DC are 99/3 after 15 overs.
As soon as he got out, edging an attempted cut off a well-outside off delivery from the off spinner K Gowtham, Prithvi Shaw turned and walked away quickly. A few steps down, it must have sunk in him that he has thrown away a great start against quite ordinary bowling for he suddenly put his head down and screamed. After giving away two successive boundaries, Gowtham shifted his line to round the stumps and bowled the cross-seam slider well outside off. Shaw just couldn’t help himself from having a go. Until then, he was on a whirlwind big bash, slamming anything bowled at him. Pulls, cuts, lofted hits though there was this one incident where he resembled Jackie Chan in Drunken Master. Gowtham again with a slider outside off and Shaw almost wobbled away, reaching out with just his hands, like Chan would try to grapple an opponent for support in the movie, and only edged it. But so quick it all happened that Jason Holder at first slip seemed dazed and yanked and ducked his head away from the ball, lest it break his teeth.

In boundary-flaying mood, Prithvi Shaw was in no mood for stealing doubles. After cudgeling Avesh Khan for a hat-trick of boundaries, he mistimed a pull to the right of the fine-leg fielder. The latter had to cover some ground to collect the ball and it seemed Shaw and Warner would smuggle a double. But Shaw had no such intention. He ambled for the first run, and even before he was three-quarters to the non-striker’s end, he signalled Warner, without even looking at the fielder or turning back at Warner, that he was not running the second. Warner, who was off his blocks for the second run in a jiffy, wore a bemused smile, Shaw flashed a sheepish one. Shaw might be reasoning: “Why bother running when you could strike boundaries!” Sheer waste of boundary-hitting energy!

Ravi Bishnoi picks the wicket of Powell as he looks to slog the ball but gets bowled. DC are three down now. DC are 76/3 after 10.4 overs.
Shaw and Warner fall in quick succession as Delhi Capitals lose both their openers. Warner's comeback knock for Delhi has been a struggle, and it's now over for just four. Rishabh Pant comes to the crease. DC are 70/2 after 9 overs.
Krishnappa Gowtham gets the first breakthrough. Shaw departs soon after his half-century, played a blinder of an innings, scoring 61 off just 34 studded with 9 fours and 2 sixes. Rovman Powell comes in place of Shaw. DC are 68/1 after 8 overs.
Prithvi Shaw brings up his first half-century of the season in 30 balls. This is his 11th overall IPL 50. What a fine start for Delhi Capitals! DC are 57/0 after 7 overs.
Prithvi Shaw takes the attack to ex-teammate Avesh Khan with 3 successive boundaries. Shaw has raced off to 39 [7 fours, 1 six] off 20 balls. DC are 45/0 after 4 overs.
SIX! Opener Shaw brings up the first maximum of the match after a boundary. Shaw has got Delhi going in the powerplay. DC are 27/0 after 3 overs.
Shaw with two boundaries in the second over. A good start for the youngster! DC are 13/0 after 2 overs.
Prithvi Shaw and Warner open for Delhi Capitals. Holder opens the attack for Lucknow. DC are 4/0 after 1 over.
Rishabh Pant: We'd have bowled first as well, because we haven't played here before. Three changes for us - Warner comes in for Seifert, Nortje in for Khaleel and Sarfaraz replaces Mandeep. He (Warner) is a big addition, such an experienced player and will add value for us.
Delhi Capitals (Playing XI): Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Rishabh Pant(w/c), Rovman Powell, Sarfaraz Khan, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mustafizur Rahman, Anrich Nortje
KL Rahul: We'll bowl first. Can't really think of a reason why but it's a fresh wicket. We'd want to bowl well upfront and restrict them. One change - Manish misses out and Gowtham comes in. Still early in the competition. Chat is about forgetting what happened, whether we win or lose, and putting our 100 percent going forward. Another opportunity to go out there and perform well as a team.
Lucknow Super Giants (Playing XI): KL Rahul(c), Quinton de Kock(w), Evin Lewis, Deepak Hooda, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Jason Holder, Krishnappa Gowtham, Andrew Tye, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan
