IPL Day 11--Delhi finally beaten...(by)an Yusuf show!!
Just like a typical (90s) bollywood movie where the hero makes an late but in time (right time) appearence on screen to save the heroin/kill the villian, Yusuf came in as the game was getting away from Rajastan and played his typical (big hitting) innings to help RR chase down 144 in just over 18 overs.
Earlier Sehwag choosing to bat after winning the toss (yet again) got out without making a huge impact and at one stage they were struggling at 49/4 in 8th over but (in form) De villers,vettori stitched a good partnership and a late cameo by Manhas help them set 144.
RR's top order has been fragile through out the tournament and it failed yet again except for a sensible Smith who hung in there despite wickets falling at the other end till Yusuf came in (late) and stole the show!Yusuf made a dashing 62 off 30 while Smith made (almost) a run a ball 44 as they reached the target in 18.3 overs!
RR bt DD by 5 wickets!
