How quickly the night changes. It was only two days ago that KL Rahul thrilled the fans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium and a sensational 152 off 67 deliveries against the Punjab kings. But on Monday, April 27, Rahul fell for DC and was dismissed on just one off three balls.

Delhi batted first from the visitors as they looked to return to winning ways after just one win in their last five matches. To this end, they made three changes, incl adding youngster Sahil Parakh to open the batting with Rahul.
But the youngster was cleaned up by Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the very first over. Looking to attack Josh Hazlewood early, Rahul went for a big shot but the bounce was too much for him.
Hazlewood was the bowler who Rahul scored 135 run-off 78 balls with a success rate of over 160. However, it was Hazlewood’s day and Jitesh Sharma came to pick up an easy catch.
MASOB IN DELHI
That was just the start of the destruction for Delhi Capitals on the night as Sameer Rizvi was dismissed off the very next ball. Tristan Stubbs hit a hat-trick with a ball on the boundary, but the procession of goals continued.
Bhuvneshwar came back to dismiss Stubbs and then skipper Axar Patel, forcing Delhi to use Abishek Porel as a shock sub. At the end of the third period, DC was 8 to five and needed a miracle. Soon Hazlewood got his third wicket of the night when the sensational bouncer left Nitish Rana absolutely clueless and gave a simple catch to Devdutt Padikkal.
