HYDERABAD: The trend is proving to be infectious. Lucknow Super Giants faltered to lose from a good position against Gujarat Titans recently and Sunrisers Hyderabad succumbed to Delhi Capitals by seven runs in the Indian Premier League on Monday.
All credit to Delhi Capitals for the brilliant rally in the middle overs that helped them restrict Sunrisers Hyderabad to 137/6.
With new batters struggling to come to terms with the pace of the wicket at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, it was imperative for the settled batters to force the pace. But as the boundaries dried up, with the Delhi spin duo of Axar Patel (2/21) and Kuldeep Yadav (1/22) keeping the SRH batters on a tight leash, the second-wicket pair of Mayank Agarwal and Rahul Tripathi found a big over hard to come by.
