When Ashutosh Sharma arrived at the fold, @Delhicapital was less than 5% of them to win. He overturned the game with intrepid assault while keeping his nerves in check at crucial moments. And how good Vipraj? 👏

Delhi! This is why you have depth! Vipraj to me was the one who gave time Ashutosh with his cameo!
Top Victory for DC!
Lucknow would be the filling of errors on the ground, but the bowling will remain a concern for them.
They will have to get out of bat teams. #CRICKKKETONJIOSTAR #IPLONJIOSTAR pic.twitter.com/vwl0illesnuk
