Iyer's impersonation of Stoinis left all the members of the Delhi contingent in splits. What made the video funnier was the Australian's reaction to Iyer's imitation as he couldn't control his laughter. Several reactions poured in as fans showered their love on the post.
Meanwhile, it seems like Delhi's trick to keep the atmosphere in the dressing room light-hearted worked wonders as they took the field in a rather positive way, which was missing in their last few games. Shreyas Iyer's men emerged victorious in the Delhi vs Hyderabad Qualifier 2 as they beat David Warner's side by 17 runs to book a place in the final. Stoinis was named the 'Player of the Match' for his all-round show. The Mumbai vs Delhi final will be played on Tuesday, November 10 in Dubai.
