5 memorable moments from the Rising Pune Supergiants-Delhi Daredevils match that don't fade away

Pune beat Delhi thanks to the D/L method

In cricket, rain is perhaps the more feared entity among everything. However, sometimes, it becomes the source of relief for a team as they look for divine intervention to put an end to their misery.

Last night’s clash between the Rising Pune Supergiants and Delhi Daredevils was one of those games that falls in that class. The Delhi Daredevils put up one of the slowest displays of batting while putting up a score of 122.

As Pune were chasing the total down with relative ease and steadiness, rain poured down and ultimately ended the game abruptly—giving Dhoni’s men a 19-run win according to D/L method.

Despite the full overs not being played,there were plenty of memorable moments in the match that don't fade away, quite like the Axe Signature range of body perfumes. Let's take a look:

1) Karun Nair’s steady innings

Delhi were lucky to have Nair batting in good form

After openers Quinton De Kock and Shreyas Iyer were taken out early by a fired-up Ashok Dinda, Karun Nair took it upon himself to steady the ship of a surface that was a difficult to bat on. However, as he found out later, it was one of those days were surviving alone became a humongous task.

While he might have made 41 runs, but it came off 43 balls. As wickets fell like bowling pins around him, Karun held the fort on one end, giving his team the chance to post a decent total.
