The Arun Jaitley Stadium witnessed the birth of a powerhouse as Sameer Rizvi dismantled the Mumbai Indians with a breathtaking 90 off 51 balls. Chasing a tricky 163 on a slow surface, Delhi Capitals looked vulnerable at 7 for 2, but Pathum Nissanka’s aggression and Rizvi’s brute force turned the tide.

Rizvi’s third consecutive Player-of-the-Match award cements his status as the tournament’s ultimate “Impact Player,” making DC look like genuine title favorites.
