Chennai Super Kings v Delhi Daredevils, IPL 2009-10

Indian Premier League, 2009-10

Nagraj Gollapudi

At Chennai, April 15, 2010. Delhi Daredevils won by six wickets. ‡Chennai Super Kings 112-9 (20 overs) (S. Badrinath 30; A. Nehra 3-26); Delhi Daredevils 113-4 (18.4 overs) (G. Gambhir 57*). MoM: G. Gambhir.

At 38-4, chasing a modest target on a humid day, Delhi seemed to have imploded - but Gambhir and Mithun Manhas fought dehydration and Dhoni's clever field-placing to chalk up a hard-fought victory which had seemed a formality after Chennai equalled their lowest IPL score.
