Delhi Capitals (DC) secured a crucial win last night against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. In this match, the Delhi Capitals bowlers were able to keep the dangerous Rajasthan Royals opener, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, quiet and got rid of him in the early part of the first innings.
Sooryavanshi started off his innings in style by hitting DC pacer Kyle Jamieson down the ground for a four. On the next ball, which was the fifth delivery of the second innings, a full-length delivery from the pacer, between the bat and pad of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, uprooted the wicket. The RR opener departed for 4 off 2.

Jamieson was in breach of Article 2.5 of the IPL's Code of Conduct.
