Delhi Capitals gave Chetan Sakariya his debut against Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday, and the youngster repaid his franchise's faith almost instantly, as he got rid of Aaron Finch in the first over of his spell.
Sakariya, who lit up the IPL last season as well, celebrated with a 'Wakanda Forever' and 'Goku' gesture after taking Finch's wicket. Earlier, the youngster had also celebrated in a similar manner on plenty of occasions in IPL 2021 as well.
Sakariya replaced Khaleel Ahmed in the Delhi Capitals playing XI, who picked up a hamstring issue, but it proved to be a blessing in disguise, as the youngster got the wicket of Finch in his third ball itself.
