Rahul, Nissanka fifties lead 226 chase as DC return to winning ways
Delhi Capitals 226 for 3 (Rahul 75, Nissanka 62, Jadeja 1-33) beat Rajasthan Royals 225 for 6 (Parag 90, Ferreira 47*, Starc 3-40) by seven wicketsIn their last match in Jaipur, Rajasthan Royals (RR) were asked to bat first, scored around 230, and never looked like they could defend it. On Friday, against Delhi Capitals (DC), their second match in Jaipur this year, RR won the toss, chose to bat first, scored around 230, and never looked like they could defend it. Between these two matches, RR themselves chased down around 230 with ease.The decision at the toss remains in sharp focus because it took extraordinary hitting for RR to recover from 36 for 2 in five overs when the ball seamed. During the chase, though, the pitch didn't offer much to RR, who have arguably had the best attacking new-ball bowlers in Jofra Archer and Nandre Burger. The result was DC's highest successful chase without seemingly having to come out of third gear.Riyan Parag had to endure the early misbehaviour before he could turn his innings around into 90 off 50 balls. Donovan Ferreira (47* in 14 balls) drilled out proverbial yorkers for sixes to give RR their second-best finish in the Impact Player era.However, led by the returning Mitchell Starc's three-for, the DC bowlers did just enough to let their batters make full use of the improved conditions. Pathum Nissanka started the charge with 52 from 26 deliveries in the powerplay, KL Rahul went at better than two a ball in the middle overs, and Nitish Rana put any possible nerves to rest with his 33 off 17 balls.No Starc vs SooryavanshiThe moment Parag won the toss and surprised just about everybody, including his opponents, that shock quickly gave way to anticipation of watching Vaibhav Sooryavanshi go against Starc after his first-ball sixes off Jasprit Bumrah and Pat Cummins, a second-baller off Sunil Narine, and four boundaries in first four balls against Josh Hazlewood.However, things happened at the wrong ends. Yashasvi Jaiswal hit Starc for a first-ball six, and two balls later, offered a return chance off a high full toss. Sooryavanshi never got to the Starc end as he played on a Kyle Jamieson yorker, which might point to a pre-decided plan.Parag rises above conditionsParag had the dubious company of Dhruv Jurel, but he kept RR going at a rate that was exciting but did not promise a win. However, outside the three wickets that fell, you hardly see or hear of any IPL coaches asking those in the between to initiate something.Mat...
