The young gun and the old hand have both signed off from this year's Indian Premier League in bittersweet fashion with a Pyrrhic victory tinged with personal disappointment. Jake Fraser-McGurk was out for a duck in what is almost certainly Delhi Capitals' final match of the campaign. David Warner did not even get on the park, dropped for what was a must-win-heavily match.
The night was little better for Lucknow Super Giants' Marcus Stoinis. He was stumped for five as LSG went down to a 19-run defeat that did neither side any favours.
This was Capitals' last regular season match and they had to win by a huge margin to have any chance of reaching the playoffs. LSG, with an even worse net run-rate, had to win their last two, starting with this one in New Delhi.
