NEW DELHI: Mumbai Indians picked up their first win of the 2023 IPL as they defeated Delhi Capitals by six wickets in a last-ball thriller at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Tilak Varma's explosive 41 runs (1x4, 4x6) helped MI keep pace on their run chase and was heavily commended for his incredible form by JioCinema IPL expert Parthiv Patel.

"He batted at number three and the way he batted in a pitch which wasn't easy for batters is commendable. His footwork was phenomenal, the way he can get into position quickly. Strike rotations weren't easy with the way the off-spinners were bowling. We see his maturity innings after innings, so I think that was the biggest plus point. When you come in at the start, you can get a good season. After that, everyone knows you're playing style, what your strengths are, and your weaknesses. But to come back to the tournament and start like this is worthy of praise. It shows the confidence as well as the maturity of the player. Tilak Varma is a player for the future and there's no doubt in that." IANS
