The Delhi Capitals were hit hard by COVID-positive cases in their camp. There were uncertainties about the match taking place but Rishabh Pant’s side kept their problems at bay to register a convincing nine-wicket win.
While reviewing the game in a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra was full of praise for the Delhi Capitals. He explained:
The former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) player highlighted that the Delhi Capitals used their spinners brilliantly to bamboozle the Punjab Kings batters. Chopra observed:
Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav and Lalit Yadav scalped six wickets and conceded just 45 runs in the 10 overs they bowled. Patel, in particular, was at his parsimonious best, conceding just 10 runs in his four-over spell apart from picking up a couple of wickets.

Aakash Chopra was also effusive in his praise for Rishabh Pant’s ever-improving leadership skills. He elaborated:
The renowned commentator concluded by highlighting that David Warner and Prithvi Shaw’s blitzkriegs made a mockery of the 116-run target. Chopra said:
Warner (60* off 30) and Shaw (41 off 20) took all the Punjab Kings bowlers to the cleaners. Their blazing knocks helped the Delhi Capitals win the match with 57 deliveries to spare.
