Axar, Lalit do it for DC

Oh what a stunning comeback this! DC were down in the dumps at 72/5 but Shardul Thakur's 22 set a fire and Axar, Lalit brought down MI with it. The duo added 75 runs off only 30 balls as MI looked short of ideas. Kept bowling slower balls and the left-right combo rode roughshod, hitting all round the park. Axar was the aggressor, scoring 38* off 17 (3 sixes, 2 fours). And just like that, MI lose another season opener. How many of them it's been in a row? Must go to Deepu, I have lost count...

Thampi does further damage

First came the double strike in the 10th over, when he got rid of Prithvi Shaw and Rovman Powell with short balls, and then returns to end an entertaining cameo from Shardul, who makes 22 off 11. Looks all done for DC here... unless Lalit Yadav and Axar Patel conjure up some magic.

Good start comes falling down

30/0 after 3 overs, thanks to Tim Seifert's belligerence at the top, but Murugan Ashwin comes to bowl the fourth and gets rid of him and Mandeep in the space of three balls. Two balls later, Pant takes a short-wide one from Mills and cuts it straight to third man. Not that it's going to hold back Pant this season... Ponting wants him to get out of his shell and not be held back as captain, as he told Cricbuzz in this
