Adani Delhi Premier League T20: East Delhi Riders made history after being crowned as the champions of the inaugural edition of Adani Delhi Premier League T20 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday. A late assault from Mayank Rawat including seven fours and six sixes powered East Delhi Riders to 183/5 while three-wicket hauls from Simarjeet Singh and Raunak Waghela ensured a thrilling three-run victory against South Delhi Superstarz.

The South Delhi Superstarz faltered early in the run chase. Despite being on the course with their run rate, they lost the dangerous duo of Priyansh Arya (6) and Ayush Badoni (7) to Bhagwan Singh and Simarjeet Singh respectively. Impact player Kunwar Bidhuri (22 off 19) was also caught and bowled by Mayank Rawat to finish the powerplay at 57/3.

Sumit Mathur (18) was the next batsman to go after he constructed a 22-run partnership with Tejaswi Dahiya. Dahiya was in fine form, completing a half-century while Mayank Gupta (1) and Dhruv Singh (1) perished cheaply.
