England's Phil Salt hit a blazing 87 to power Delhi Capitals to a thumping seven-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League on Saturday and ruin superstar Virat Kohli's return to his home city.
The controversy surrounding Virat Kohli and Sourav Ganguly was finally put to rest on Saturday as the two legendary cricketers shook hands in the aftermath of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 encounter between Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore. The handshake was the topic of controversy the last time these two teams faced each other as various videos suggested that Kohli and Ganguly did not greet each other after the game. Reports also suggested that the duo unfollowed each other on Instagram following the incident. However, that was not the case after DC's win on Saturday as the two legends shook hands and even spoke to each other briefly at the end of the encounter.
Phil Salt came up with an outrageous display of ball striking as Delhi Capitals kept themselves alive in the Indian Premier League with a thumping seven-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bangalore on Saturday. Virat Kohli (55 off 56) completed his 'homecoming' with a landmark fifty before Mahipal Lomror (54 not out off 29) came up with a career-best knock to take Royal Challengers Bangalore to 181 for four. Needing to win every game from here on to have a shot at a play-off berth, Delhi's overseas batters played fearlessly to gun down the total in 16.4 overs. Besides Salt's sensational 87 off 45 balls, David Warner (22 off 14), Mitchell Marsh (26 off 17) and Rilee Rossouw (29 not out off 21) produced timely cameos.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) pacer Mohammed Siraj lost his cool at Delhi Capitals wicketkeeper-batter Phil Salt during their Indian Premier League (IPL) match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday. The incident happened in the penultimate over of the powerplay during DC's chase. Salt hit Siraj for three boundaries on the trot, with two of them going all the distance. In order to bounce back, Siraj bowled a short-pitched delivery to Salt, who threw his bat at it, only for the umpire to call it a wide.
Virat Kohli added a massive milestone to his already illustrious career as the Royal Challengers Bangalore star became the first batsman ever to score 7000 runs in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Kohli reached the coveted milestone during the IPL 2023 encounter against Delhi Capitals in a season which has seen multiple superb knocks from him. Such has been Kohli's domination in the tournament that he is almost 500 runs ahead of the second-placed Shikhar Dhawan and around 900 runs ahead of DC's David Warner who occupies the third spot currently.
Virat Kohli returned to his hometown ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) match between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Ahead of the game, Kohli caught up with his childhood coach, Rajkumar Sharma, and touched his feet. A video of the same has been doing rounds on social media. "A wholesome meet & greet. @imVkohli catches up with his childhood coach," the video was captioned by IPL on their official Twitter handle.
Sourav Ganguly is one of the most influencial names in world cricket. The former India captain holds a special place in the hearts of the fans. He took over captaincy of the Indian team during a time of crisis, and guided the team towards the right path. After hanging his boots, Ganguly held administrative posts at the Cricket Association of Bengal and the Board of Control for Cricket in India. He is currently the Director of Cricket of Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Delhi Capitals.
Coming on the back of improbable wins, both Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore will not want to leave anything to chance and put up a better batting display in a crucial IPL contest at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday. Delhi, who have had a tournament to forget up till now, needed something to go their way and it did in the low-scoring thriller against table leaders Gujarat Titans. Back in action after three weeks, pacer Khaleel Ahmed and veteran Ishant Sharma got Delhi out of a hole and kept them alive in the competition.
