Karn Sharma’s instant impact brings Mumbai Indians back on winning track in Delhi
In the very first game of this year’s Indian Premier League (IPL) in New Delhi, there was an exhibition of big hitting, some exceptional spin bowling, a stream of India stars, and a topsy-turvy thriller that sat on a knife-edge for most of its running time. It will be a hard one to top.
The jubilant celebrations at the end were proof of how much this victory meant to the Mumbai Indians. On a bad run of form, they came into this match against the only unbeaten side so far in the tournament and rode the punches they took, before seizing the important moments in the end as Delhi collapsed to hand the five-time champs a 12-run victory at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Sunday.
