5 memorable moments from the DD vs GL match that don’t fade away
After a streak of losses that spanned five matches, the Delhi Daredevils finally got some points on the table when they got the better of Sunrisers Hyderabad on Tuesday. And they continued the momentum when they got the better of the Gujarat Lions in Match No. 43 of IPL 10.
On the back of a gutsy innings by Suresh Raina (77 off 43) and Dinesh Karthik (65 off 34), the visitors went on to post a total of 208 on the board. But Gujarat’s bowlers could do little to break the partnership between Sanju Samson (61 off 31) and Rishabh Pant (97 off 43), which took Delhi to 7 wicket win.

Here are 5 memorable moments from the match that don't fade away, quite like the Axe Signature range of body perfumes.
#1 Kagiso Rabada’s opening burst
Both the Gujarat Lions openers Brendon McCullum and Dwayne Smith looked in sublime form, scoring 10 runs off the first over of the game bowled by Shahbaz Nadeem. But then struck Rabada in the second over of the innings to dismiss McCullum for 1.
The 21-year-old South African pitched the ball on a length and got it to seam away a touch. McCullum fished at it and the ball kissed the outside edge to sail through to Rishabh Pant. In the same over, Nadeem ran-out Smith to further break Gujarat’s momentum.
Kagiso Rabada’s pace is an axe moment that does not fade away.
