Left-arm spinners earning Player of the Match awards vs SRH in IPL 2023:
- Krunal Pandya (3/18 & 34 off 23)
- Ravindra Jadeja (3/22)
- Axar Patel (34 off 34 & 2/21)
Axar Patel (Player of the Match): "34 off 34 was important than my bowling. I didn't understand anything. I ordered a coffee and then three wickets fell in an over. We had a chat with Pandey and wanted to have runs on the board to defend a total. The wicket was slow and it was coming slowly. So, worked with Kuldeep as a tandem. I loved bowling with Kuldeep. I enjoyed taking both Klaasen and Mayank's wickets. Yes, the space is increasing to keep my POTM awards. Yes, sure I will have my new coffee. Thank You."
Player of the Match: Axar Patel
David Warner (Delhi Capitals Captain): "Love it here, it's an amazing crowd. I haven't been here for a long time, thanks for hanging around. Yeah, thank you all for your support, and for hanging around. My hair can only get white from here and can't get gray. We had challenges with our batters but it's good that we can get two points.
Mukesh delivered an excellent last over. The two spinners have been great, they are our rock. These are very experienced bowlers and they can't let you down. You just need to maneuver them well.
From day 1, he [Ishant Sharma] kept telling me that I am ready, I am ready. unfortunately, he was down with a fever during two games, but credit to him for standing up tall. We spoke before the game that teams have won from here also. We have got back-to-back games against SRH, hopefully, we can start again. Thank you very much, thanks to the crowd too. Cheers."

11:30 PM: Time for the post-match presentation.
Anrich Nortje (Delhi Capitals): "Really happy to get the win. Still not the ideal performance. Maybe a few runs short but the spinners did a fine job and we did a great job closing out the game in the end. There was a bit of inconsistency on the length and we decided to bowl there. I tried to keep it simple. Just focus on the target and go. But the plan is always to keep it simple. The plan wasn't to bowl half-volleys. But you get some idea of where the guy is going to hit and it helps. Mukesh was very clear with his plans. He focussed really well in the end. He took his time and executed the plan brilliantly."
Aiden Markram (Sunrisers Hyderabad Skipper): "Not good with the bat again. Not enough intent. Looked like we were not excited to win this game actually. We have to get back to the drawing board and plan. We want to play a certain brand of cricket. But unfortunately, we are letting ourselves down with the bat. I enjoy doing it but the guys need to bring out their A-game. Incredibly proud of the bowlers. They executed their plans brilliantly. Our bowling side doesn't deserve to be on the losing side tonight. That's the only positive thing we have got out of this game."
11:16 PM IST: Another thrilling finish in this year's IPL. This time it was a low scoring thriller in Hyderabad and it is David Warner and Delhi Capitals who held their nerves to win the game by 7 runs. A match that was going SRH's way at one point turned around and it is back-to-back wins for Warner and his men. With this, DC defend their lowest ever total in IPL history.
Chasing a gettable 145 for the victory, Sunrisers Hyderabad lost Harry Brook early. Mayank Agarwal played well for his 49 off 39 balls. The impact player Rahul Tripathi struggled for his 15 off 21 balls. Heinrich Klaasen provided the fireworks towards the end with his 31 off 19 balls but fell at the crucial time. Washington Sundar tried his best with an unbeaten 24* off 15 balls. But it was a bridge too far as SRH finished with 137/6 in 20 overs.
Axar Patel was the pick of the bowlers for the Delhi Capitals with figures of 2/21 in 4 overs. Anrich Nortje chipped in with a couple of wickets for 33 runs in 4 overs. A wicket apiece for Kuldeep Yadav who kept it tight and Ishant Sharma who bowled 3 overs. A great bowling perfornance for the Capitals and it was Impact Player Mukesh Kumar who held his nerve in the end.
Earlier in the game, Delhi Capitals won the toss and elected to bat first. They lost Phil Salt for a golden duck. Skipper David Warner struggled for his 21 off 20 balls. Mitchell Marsh looked good and got a start for his 25 off 15 balls. Manish Pandey scored 34 off 27 balls. Axar Patel scored a crucial 34 off 34 balls. This enabled the Capitals to get to 144/9 in 20 overs which did not look enough but it proved just about adequate in the end.
Washington Sundar was the pick of the bowlers for Sunrisers Hyderabad as he got 3 wickets in a single over. He finished with 3/28 in 4 overs. He was ably supported by Bhuvneshwar Kumar who finished with exceptional figures of 2/11 in 4 overs. Natarajan picked up the other wicket to fall as there were three run outs in the DC innings as well.
So, Delhi gets their second win in 7 games and 2 in a row. They are now level on points with SRH and KKR and only behind them on Net Run Rate. The IPL is becoming interesting as we touch the halfway point of the tournament in the league stage. This is the 5th consecutive win for DC over SRH in IPL.
Stick around for the presentation ceremony.

0 Nails the yorker at the off stump and all Jansen could do it mistime the drill towards the mid off fielder. No runs taken and an emotional Mukesh Kumar is down on his knees. From a small village in the Gopalganj district of Bihar, here's some limelight on the Bengal pacer, Mukesh Kumar as he defends 13 runs in the final over. Sunrisers Hyderabad withstands another loss and David Warner roars up in celebration in front of his former home crowd. That's back-to-back wins for DC and that too after five straight losses.
Akshay: Mukesh Kumar is the man for the Capitals. One legal delivery and the Capitals will be home tonight. You can already see David Warner jumping with joy.
Akshaya: Why Sundar and Jansen didn't run back for the second? Still, could have managed a tie if Sundar hit a six off the final ball. Poor cricketing awareness!!!!!!
