What went Wrong: For once, skipper Rohit Sharma wasn’t able to propel the Mumbai score despite having walked in with the openers having laid the perfect platform. Maybe he simply didn’t know how to deal with the new scenario—of having only a handful of overs left for him.

Delhi daredevils are enduring an inconsistent campaign but their key all-rounder Angelo Mathews is confident that the side can turn it around and make the play-offs of the IPL.
