Mumbai Indians have found their winning ways after they defeated the Delhi Capitals and have found themselves a home win.

Everything turned out in MI's favour, but it was Romario Shepherd who left Pandya stumped with a solid final over mayhem against the Capitals

Romario Shepherd's masterclass leaves Sachin Tendulkar elated

Mumbai Indians' batter Romario Shepherd came in as the saviour of the team and put up some towering numbers in the final over of the first match of yesterday's doubleheader. The West Indies star unleashed a beast within as he faced DC fast bowler Anrich Nortje. He scored four sixes and two boundaries. Shepherd sent Nortje to the cleaners with his immaculate knock that put MI in the driver's seat before DC could begin their innings. MI skipper Hardik Pandya could not hide his reactions when he witnessed Romario's blockbuster innings.

The Mumbai Indians dressing room was utterly taken aback by the devastating batting showcase, with Sachin Tendulkar praising the player's performance and captain Hardik Pandya's reactions flying widely on social media.

The Mumbai Indians batting lineup erupted in tandem to register an intimidating 234 for five against the Delhi Capitals at the iconic Wankhede Stadium, with Romario Shepherd hammering 32 runs off Anrich Nortje's 20th over.

The MI vs DC clash was a forgettable one for the returning Suryakumar Yadav, as he was dismissed for a duck after playing just two balls. It was indeed disappointing for SKY's underwhelming return, but MI has more matches to go, and the number one T20I batter can find his winning ways.

The Delhi Capitals were enjoying their victory after taking down the formidable CSK. However, despite their best efforts, DC could only reach 205 for 8 thanks to a heroic 71 not out of 25 balls from Tristan Stubbs. With their fourth loss in their past five games, Delhi Capitals have fallen to the bottom spot out of ten clubs.
