Delhi Capitals’ leg spinner Amit Mishra bamboozled the Mumbai Indians’ (MI) willow wielders on 20th April 2021. The 38-year-old scalped 4 wickets in the 4 overs that he bowled and also gave away just 24 runs. And, the likes of Rohan Gavaskar and Kris Srikkanth have lauded Mishra for his exemplary performance with the ball in hand.

Brad Hogg has offered his opinion on the controversial topic of Mankading. Meanwhile, news has come in that Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi has tested positive for the coronavirus, and Harbhajan Singh has wished a speedy recovery to Gandhi. Also, Danny Morrison is excited to see the Delhi Capitals in action in the game against the Mumbai Indians (MI) today.

Pragyan Ojha has offered his thoughts on the basics of cricket. Abhinav Mukund reckons that the Delhi Capitals will have to put up a good performance if they want to overhaul the total set by the Mumbai Indians (MI) side. Irfan Pathan feels that the Mumbai willow wielders indulged themselves in some irresponsible cricket. Indian cricketing legend Virat Kohli has posted a picture with his celebrity wife and actor Anushka Sharma. And finally, David Miller has tried to imitate the batting style of Jos Buttler.

Irrespective of the format, basics remain the same. Playing to the situation is more important than a player’s natural game! #MIvDC #VIVOIPL

6. Brad Hogg offers his thoughts on Mankading

Still trying to work out why people say it is wrong to Mankad a batsman. Your out of your crease before the ball has left the hand, you are trying to gain an advantage and you cry foul when a bowler does what is legal. #IPL2021 pic.twitter.com/simuH13lHm

8. Abhinav Mukund reckons that 138 would not be an easy total to chase

I think we need a special performance tonight from one of the delhi batsmen to get back this score. Dont think it will be as easy a chase,this 138. #DCvsMI #IPL2021

Terrific bowling by @MishiAmit , experience and skill to get those wickets and wreck @mipaltan and put @DelhiCapitals on top at the halfway mark! Looks like an interesting game at Chennai! #DCvsMI

10. Kevin Pietersen lets the world know about his thoughts on the IPL

Like in the 90’s when Australia had a home 50 over series where they fielded an Aus A team, that’s what India should do now.
The talent on show in the @IPL that doesn’t get close to the international stage is frightening.
Players WIN
Broadcasters WIN
Fans WIN
