Following the hammering, Mumbai Indians’ social media admin took a dig at the capital city team in a rebuttal against a post made by DC a week ago when MI were put to the sword by SRH.

‘Aa gaya Swaad’ read the reply to the an old social media post hat DC had made along the line “Genuine question to SunRisers batters, breakfast mein kya khaya aaj?”

Delhi skipper Rishabh Pant won the toss and asked SRH to have a bat first as the decision backfired immediately with the openers smashing DC bowlers all over the park.

DC pacer Khaleel Ahmed opened the day with the first over of the game and was taken for 19 runs by the opening pair as Head whacked the seamer for a six and a couple of fours before rotating strike to Abhishek, who got off the mark with a boundary.

Lalith Yadav came in from the other end and was given the same treatment as he was taken for 21 runs as Head smashed him for two sixers and a four.

Head continued the onslaught against Anrich Nortje as he managed to make 22 runs off the Protea pacer dealing exclusively in boundaries.

Abhishek took charge of the next over as he got two maximums off Lalith before rotating strike to Head, who also handed the same judgement to the DC bowler.

Lead spinner Kuldeep Yadav came in to bowl the fifth over and conceded 20 runs as Sharma went hard on the leggie to bring up the 100-run mark for SRH with three sixers.

Mukesh Kumar came in to bowl the final over of the powerplay and was hit for 22 runs by the pair as SRH got to 125 runs in 6 overs to smash all records in the powerplay.
