After being restricted to just 144, Delhi Capitals have asked medium-pacer Mukesh Kumar to come in and bowl during the second innings coming in as an impact player in place of Sarfaraz Khan.
Delhi had a hard time with the bat as they lost wickets in bundle which affected their run-rate in this game. Meanwhile, Mukesh has been bowling well until now in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with few crucial wickets under his belt.
In five games so far, Kumar has dismissed five batters with his economy being on the higher side at 9.6.
Meanwhile, Sarfaraz was brought in for this game but again dismissed cheaply for 10 causing his side trouble.
Manish Pandey and Axar Patel top scored in this game for the visitors with 34 each as Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Washington Sundar decimated their batting line-up.
Capitals' season has been more of a worry with wickets falling cheaply everytime they come into bat. None of the batters except skipper Warner and Axar have stepped up with young Indian talents being the major disappointment this season in absence of Rishabh Pant.
