Needing 23 off the final 12 balls, Delhi found a glimmer of hope when Ashutosh Sharma cracked two boundaries off Jasprit Bumrah. However, the last three balls of the 19th over brought chaos as three run-outs derailed Delhi’s hopes and brought Mumbai roaring back into the contest.
Nair, playing his first IPL match in three years, was a standout for Delhi. The 33-year-old came in as an impact substitute after Jake Fraser-McGurk fell to the first ball and lit up the Kotla with a 40-ball 89, including a 22-ball fifty – his first IPL half-century in seven years.
His 119-run partnership with Abishek Porel (33) laid a strong foundation before Karn Sharma’s introduction changed the course of the match.Karn, also an impact substitute, broke the crucial stand by removing Porel and then dismissed Tristan Stubbs and KL Rahul in quick succession to tilt the momentum in Mumbai’s favour. Mitchell Santner also chipped in, bowling Nair to deliver a massive blow to Delhi’s chase.
Earlier, Mumbai posted an imposing 205 for 5, thanks to a fluent 59 from Tilak Varma and a vital unbeaten 38 from Naman Dhir. The innings was built on a brisk start provided by Ryan Rickelton (41) and Rohit Sharma (18), though the latter once again failed to convert, falling lbw to Vipraj Nigam. Rohit now has just 56 runs from five matches.Suryakumar Yadav added a quick 40 off 28 and stitched a 60-run stand with Varma before Kuldeep Yadav struck twice, removing Rickelton and Suryakumar. Nigam then removed Hardik Pandya cheaply, but the Varma-Dhir stand ensured Mumbai crossed the 200-run mark.The win lifts Mumbai’s morale and keeps their playoff hopes alive, while Delhi remain second in the table with their first defeat of the season.
