Left-arm spinner Shadab Jakati was the unlikely hero for Chennai Super Kings in their crucial Indian Premier League game against Delhi Daredevils at the Wanderers Stadium on Saturday. He claimed four wickets to help Super Kings register an 18-run win.
Earlier, Karthik almost won the match for Daredevils with his powerhitting. Chasing Super Kings' total of 163, Daredevils were 79 for three after 11 overs. Sensing that a few more dot balls and the situation would have been impossible to retrieve for Daredevils, Karthik, with good support from Warner, went on an all out attack.
He brought the equation down to 37 to win off 25 balls before Jakati got into his act and wrecked their hopes.
Earlier, none of the Chennai Super Kings' batsmen went on to make a big score but vital contributions from Matthew Hayden, Suresh Raina and S Badrinath helped them score 163.
On saturday
