This is the third time the Delhi franchise has lost by a run. The most by any IPL team
It's also the first instance in the IPL of a team falling short in chase with two unbeaten batters getting half-centuries
Pant hasn't hit a six during both his half-centuries this season. Before this season, he had 51 half-centuries in professional cricket (all formats) and only one of them involved no sixes.
Have a mixed feelings during and after the match. Didn't want either of my 2 most favorite cricketer's team lose. I can say, it's a balanced result for me, Pant got runs, Virat got points.
The resources used to hold IPL can be used to help tackle the pandemic. Imagine all the flights used for carrying players from one city to another can be used to carry oxygens and other medical supplies. Hotels and stadiums could be converted into temporary hospitals. Also players and staff are socializing by playing sports. No one is wearing mask. Imagine if one of them gets the virus. He could spread to hundreds of staff and player. Meanwhile common people are asked to ever wear mask at home, are required mandatory quarantine for 7 days despite testing negative and so on.
