STRATEGIC TIMEOUT. Ahh… well, it might be a cliche, but it seems to be getting repeated in every second game of this IPL. Catches win matches. And probably, dropped ones cost you matches. Rajat Patidar for RCB against CSK. Today, Aniket Verma against DC. He was on 6 when Abishek Porel dropped a sitter off Axar Patel. Now, he is smoking it around on 40. For a change, Heinrich Klaasen is playing second fiddle but he too, is doing well on 24. This is today’s T20 where there is just no backward step. At 37/4, one probably felt that SRH will just look to play out the next few overs and forge a partnership. Well, they are not here to just play, are they? They are blasting a partnership alright and in spite of losing 4 wickets, they are racing around at nearly 11 an over! Ironically, Delhi have bowled well, with just 2 poor overs. But a look at the scorecard forces a rethink on the question – who is actually under the pump? Interesting point of the match now. Here’s KULDEEP YADAV.
