In a first, Delhi captain Ayush Badoni has used 11 different bowling options against Manipur in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
It is also the first time ever in a T20 match where more than nine bowlers are used a captain.
After opting to bat, Manipur posted 120 for 8 against Delhi. At one point Manipur were reeling at 41 for 6, when captain Rex Singh (23) and wicketkeeper Shah (32) put on 52 runs for the seventh wicket.
Mayank Rawat was the most expensive among the Delhi bowlers as he conceded 31 runs in his three overs, with Shah slamming him for three sixes. Wicketkeeper-batter Aryan Arana gave away 14 runs from his one over, while Aryan Rana and Himmat Singh conceded 10 and 11 runs, respectively.
For Delhi, Harsh Tyagi (2/11), Digvesh Rathi (2/11), Aayush Singh (1/11), Ayush Badoni (1/8), and Priyansh Arya (1/2) shared the spoils.
Delhi are unbeaten in the tournament as they have defeated Jammu and Kashmir 35 runs and Haryana six wickets in their previous encounters.
Former India bowler, Dodda Ganesh has slammed Delhi.
“This is mockery of professional cricket. There was no need for Delhi to do that. It just goes to show the quality of the plate teams,” he wrote on X.
In reply, Delhi are reeling on 52 for 4.
