Wishing a speedy recovery to that fan though

Coming back to the match, DC put up a mammoth total of 257/4 in their 20 overs after being put into bat by MI captain Hardik Pandya.

In reply, MI couldn't chase down the improbable target and ended up with 247/9.

Jake Fraser-McGurk smashed 84 off 27 deliveries to lead DC's charge. There was no stopping DC as Shai Hope hit a 17-ball 41, skipper Rishabh Pant made 29 off 19 deliveries and Tristan Stubbs smashed an unbeaten 48 to pummel the opposition attack.

In reply, Pandya hit 46 off 16 balls but it was a 70-run partnership between Varma and Tim David, who hit 37 off 17 balls that raised MI's hopes.

David fell lbw to Mukesh Kumar after a four and a six and Varma was run out at the start of the final
